CyGal - Services

My mom is an active member @ Hope and just sent me this email:

Prayers for Hope Family

Please keep the Kundel family in your prayers. Trace Holden Kindel (4 months old) passed away Monday in his sleep. Visitation will be held at 9:00 am in the Chapel on Friday Oct. 14, followed by a Celebration of Life service at 11:00 am and a luncheon.

In Him,

Hope Pastoral Staff

Re: CyGal - Services

    Happy mom to two sweet, silly boys: Cohen age 4, AJ age 2.

  • I'd like to, but have to find someone to watch the boys, and I'm not sure how C will do without me.  Let me do some babysitter searching.

    Have you checked whether Hope might have their on sight daycare open that day?  They have some pretty amazing services open during times like this. I'd like to go too, but would have to find some where for Ingrid at least since she is a nightmare in public.  I'll do some checking and see if their daycare would be available.

    That might be an option.  William isn't great about being left, and C won't eat from a bottle, so planning is a pain now.  I'm checking with a neighbor who can sometimes watch them.  W & C both like her.  If she can't watch them, I'll try the daycare, or see if Justin can watch them.

    Me too :(  

    I can't make the service Friday morning because my little man needs to get to the ENT.  I could possibly do the luncheon if we get out of there and I get him to Ally's in time.

  • I've got my mom lined up to watch my two so I'm planning on being there.  
    Lilypie Kids Birthday tickersLilypie Second Birthday tickers
  • I got my neighbor to watch the boys.  Are we going to the visitation, the service, or both?  I can only be gone a max of 3 hours, likely only 2 before C goes supernova mad.  Can we meet up before going in?

    I was thinking I'd go later to the visitation and stay for the service.  I'd be happy to meet you outside before going in.

  • I'm 90% sure that the daycare will be open. G doesn't do great there, but she'll survive (hopefully with JZ it will be better). Are you guys planning to do the visitation?

    Let me know, I'd love to go with someone, since I'm terrible with these things and am always speechless as to what to say :-(

  • I can only go to the visitation, as I need to get back to work. I'd love to meet up.

  • They DO NOT have a nursery available for funeral services :-( That surprises me.

  • I wish I could go...I have been thinking about their family constantly and crying whenever my mind let's me remember. My girls both have well child checks at 9, so it could take up to 2hrs...I feel I will have missed everything by then. I am still just completely heartbroken and reading this made it seem so real.

    I only plan to go to the visitation too, as I need to find someone to watch the kids. Steph is planning on going with me too-if she can sneak away from work. What time works best for you?

  • i will be there for the service and luncheon. lucylea, eriness, whoever else is going to the service, want to meet up?
  • I'd like to go but not sure I can get out of work and down there from Dodge in time.

  • I think I'm going to shoot for getting there about 10 for the visitation, or go to the service.  DS1 hardly ever gets up before 9:30 so I have to get him up and out of the house without freaking him out too much.

    Would 10:00 work for you and Steph, BP? Maybe we could arrive at the same time as Erin and the others who are staying for the service, and we can just leave when we need to.

  • I'll also plan on being there at 10.  Is there a good location to meet?  I've only been to Hope a couple times and don't know the layout very well.

    Good questions.  I've driven by a few times, but I have no idea where to go in, or where anything is.  Where can we meet?

  • BP and I are riding out together and had planned on leaving at 9, but I can be flexible.  We'll talk today and see if we can push it back a few mintues to meet the others at 10.

    I'd love to join you and meet up with the group - I'm flexible on time, whatever is easiest for you as I'll be working from home in the a.m.  Just let me know!

    I'm not sure if I'll be able to come yet, as I have no one to watch the girls.  But, just to throw out a meeting location - for visitors it is probably easiest to plan on going in the main "circle drive" doors (should be obvious, it is where all the traffic funnels to).  Then just walk straight ahead to the big circle "info" station, where there are several tvs hanging from the ceiling.  It is the most obvious/central location to meet.  I would guess the service will be held in the chapel (which is not the main worship center), but it is a little harder to explain exactly where the chapel is located.  It will be easy for anyone at Hope to point it out to you though.

  • I'm going to shoot for arriving at 9:45. Sounds like there are a few groups coming together, so I'll wait and hopefully find some of you.

    If anyone works downtown and isn't planning on staying for the service, I'm happy to pick you up. That's if you don't mind riding in a car that smells like strawberry milkshakes.
