In lieu of flowers the family requests a donation to Crossroads Christian Fellowship in Bakersfield, CA. "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body." Philippians 3:20
