Dear Friends,

As most of you know already, the Memorial Celebration for Sandy Labaree will be held at 1:00pm on April 1st at Wiscasset High School, Wiscasset, Maine. Our daughter, Christy, and I want to thank in advance all of you who are planning to make the trip for this service to pay joyful tribute to Sandy. This amazing lady touched the lives of countless people as she spent the last two years of her life travelling the country on her mission, the Corvettes Conquer Cancer Tour for the American Cancer Society, while dealing peacefully with her own terminal illness.

We will have tables at the celebration to place pictures or other tangible memories you have of Sandy for everybody to see before and after the service, so please bring something, but put your name on it so you can pick it up afterwards.

And a reminder that Sandy requested that in lieu of flowers send a memorial donation to:

The American Cancer Society
52 Federal St.
Brunswick, ME 04011
 or to the
Corvettes Conquer Cancer Tour
 23 Page Ave.
 Wiscasset, ME 04578.
