Sandy's Memorial Weekend

Since Sandy passed away peacefully on September 10, we have been busy organizing events and details. Here are a few of those:

Friday Open House

J Alex is hosting an Open House
 on Friday, October 3, 2025, 2–6 p.m. with pizza at 4
 at J Alex & Robyn’s home
, 10161 NW Wellhouse Ln, Portland, OR 97229. Everyone is welcome and at 4 pm, "pizza," will be sharing and toasts. 

Saturday Memorial Service

Our Memorial Service
 will be Saturday, October 4, 2025, 1:00 p.m. at the 
Lake Oswego United Methodist Church
, 1855 South Shore Blvd, Lake Oswego, OR 97034.

Reception

At the reception which follows after the ceremony, we will have Sandy's perennial favorite waffles from the Waffle Window. They come from our long time friends, the Fishback's, who were our neighbors and who also started the Waffle Window at their Bread and Ink Cafe.

Media Tribute

At the reception we will also have a media tribute of Sandy's life as people meet and chat. Anyone who might have photos and information about them please feel encouraged to share with Chris Mason. He can take anything even if it needs to be scanned. To manage this challenging project, he has set up special access on his Google docs for sharing documents so anyone can contribute. What he does not use for Sandy's tribute we will have for further enriching our recorded family history, particularly helpful are dates and your written info for your docs and photos.

Saturday Evening Dinner

For our Saturday Evening Dinner at 5:00 PM if you choose, join us at BGs Food Cartel in Beaverton. It's a large facility with many food carts surrounding a grassy lawn and a beer hall. A wonderful venue.

Guests and RSVPs

Doug at dougmeinhard@gmail.com is tracking all the RSVP so we might plan food and drink at Friday Open House and Saturday reception.

Events and RSVPs

Doug is also tracking events, the kids' games, gatherings, guests, all RSVPs, and so forth, and he immediately updates any information he receives so everyone has immediate access to people and events. Send Doug all RSVPs or if you are a family member, you may add info and events yourself.

Obituary

I posted Sandy’s obituary at the Gethsemani Funeral Home. If you wish to send a card, send them to J Alex’s address, 10161 NW Wellhouse Ln, Portland, OR 97229. We won't need flowers but I welcome anything I can plant at our my home that I call "the lot" in her memory. Your messages and memories will mean a great deal.

Event Locations

With gratitude for your love and support,
 (and I would have to add, tolerance).
