Ezra's Funeral Services - Thursday February 12, 2009

Dear friends, please join us to celebrate the life of Ezra Sherman.  
Services will be held at 10:30am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  5701 8th Avenue NE 98105   The church is located in the U-District just off the 5 FWY at 50th Street Exit.
We hope that all of Ezra's friends will join us - from McGilvra, our neighborhood, Broadway Bound, Seattle Guide Puppies, church, etc.  This location is large enough to accommodate all of us.  There is a large parking lot behind the church, but we will still encourage you to carpool if possible.  The service will be pretty light and kid friendly.  It will include mostly musical numbers, including a song or two from Ezra and Milo's 5th grade classmates.  I would guess the service will last pretty close to an hour.
Following the service there will be a social.  If you would like to bring a small plate of something yummy to share, you are welcome to do so.  I have a feeling there will be plenty of food, so don't stress about this.  Socials were always a favorite of Ezra's and I hope there will be many of his friends there following his tradition of filling a plate with a cookie or two, a brownie, a cupcake, and maybe one lone carrot stick.  You get the picture.  
As far as dress goes, men and boys - if you want to wear a suit feel free, but something more casual is fine too.  I would tell my own son not to wear anything sloppy, I am guessing Milo will wear a suit.  Ladies & girls - dresses/skirts/nice pants.  Please don't wear black (unless your suit or coat is black of course!),  keep in mind Ezra was a kid that liked bright colors - and as most of you know, his favorite color was pink. If he were attending, he would wear his suit, with his pink shirt and one of his pink ties:)
