Thank you Hector.

According to Lyla, Cynthia's husband Jim Holmes has requested that expressions of sympathy take the form of donations to The Actor's Fund. (www.actorsfund.org)  These donations are tax-deductible.

You are welcome Vatican.

And thank you.

I am forwarding this on.

Sorry that the 2008 did not come out in the Post Subject.

It may be leading to some confusion about the time of the service, which is at 4 P. M..

Visitation is at 3 pm .

Albinas is inviting “all those” who wished to participate.

Especially those who performed with Cynthia….to come and join us

In the Tribute to Cynthia

Is there anyone you would suggest for me to call ???

Or can you E-mail your list and tell “the people” to call us asap.

We are rehearsing some selective songs loved by Cynthia and her family

Tonight at 7 pm at Trinity…

Some may want to do a solo…and if so they should call us at 670 2520 or 710 6299 or 606 3442

So here is the program:

At 3 pm :

One hour visitation with music, including solo singing and some songs sung by the choir:  mostly music from broadway shows and songs that Cynthia sang. 

You’re welcome to sing with the choir; 

suggest anyone who knew Cynthia and would like to sing a song at the visitation in the church;

At 4 pm  Funeral :

The service will include two hymns:  Amazing Grace and Just a Closer Walk; 

and a musical meditation – perhaps You’ll Never Walk Alone and/or La Vie en Rose

Following the service there will be a reception in Trinity’s Bishop Polk Hall. All are invited.
