My son was loved by his friends. I wanted as many people as possible to come and share in the ceremony. Living in Arizona who knows what
will happen as far as Covid goes. The people who have rsvp'd on Facebook I know have had both shots. Most of them still wear a mask when in public.

18 months is a long time. Jay's birthday of 9-11 was 16 years before it became a day connected with tragedy. All of us, not just me who needs to have this final good-bye.
