There will be remarks addressed to the children present as well as time during the service to share thoughts about Simon. The art-making before the service should help participants focus their thoughts.

What to wear
Simon loved bright, rich colors. He gravitated away from anything dark or dull. Let's honor him with our happy, colorful clothes at his memorial service!

In lieu of flowers or other gifts, we request contributions to the Simon Craig Vodosek Memorial Fund.
