All

Thank you so much for all your kind words and support during this difficult time. We do look forward to seeing many of you at my Mom's memorial service on July 9th.
We are asking for the safety of you and our family that you do wear a mask while visiting with our Dad. We have set this up "open house style" so we can limit the number of people at the house at one time. This is unfamiliar territory for this family we are a bunch of huggers, so please don't be offended as we try hard to social distance. Our mom asked for very little but it was important to her that we release balloons in her memory, so we hope that you will stop by and visit with our Dad and the rest of the family and release a balloon in our Mothers memory. If you have a special memory to share you can on this web site.

We love you all very much and appreciate your support during this unprecedented time, obviously this is not exactly the memorial we had hoped for, but we do want to do everything we can to be safe and respect all that plan on stopping by.

With Love
The McLellan Children; Chris, Sheila, Sheryl, Shauna and Andrea.
Sheryl's number is 720 231 4529, if you need directions to her house of if you have any questions.
