Memorial Services

2007-01-09T05:13:00.000-08:00

Some people are remembered for what they have done with their lives. Others, for the impact they have had on the lives of others. Lucy Delia Albertson-Fillin gave nothing but joy and hope to her parents for the 6 months they knew her, and kept her safe. She passed from this world and back to the arms of God on Christmas morning, 2006. For Lucy's hour of life outside of her mother, she was dearly cared for and was given all comfort possible. Lucy Delia Albertson-Fillin was born too early to live, but not too early to be loved. The caring response from others in Lucy's passing has touched her family deeply.

Memorial services will be held 10:00 am - noon, on Saturday, January 20, 2007. Please RSVP for seating. Child care will also be provided for the service onsite.

The location for services will be at the Society of Friends (Quaker) Meeting House, located at 890 57th Street, Sacramento, CA 95819.

Some Friends may be bringing a small amount of food or drink to share at the Memorial, which is done with every meeting. If you choose to bring food, be sure to mention that in your RSVP.

The memorial service will be a Friends' service, with some additional readings and song:

The Clerk will open the Meeting, and explain silent worship and other aspects of a Friends' memorial.
There will then be a period of silent worship.
The Clerk will read the memorial minute.
There will be another period of silence.
A testimony will be read.
The Hebrew Kaddish will be read.
At the conclusion of Meeting, there will be a period for Fellowship.
Fellowship will start with candles and incense being lit.
There will be a song performed by friends of the family.
Those who desire to do so may stay and enjoy food and drink with family and friends.

This will conclude Fellowship and the Meeting service.

In Memoriam, Lucy Delia Albertson-Fillin
