EVERYONE who wishes may come to the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery at 5810 Midway Rd, Dixon, CA 95620 on February 11th for the graveside ceremony. Sadly, due to COVID restrictions, attendance at Chapel services the evening of February 10th is very limited. I wish with all my heart we did not have to limit attendance for the indoor service. The Live-streaming option is set up for that reason. We can't even fit the entire family. Please, Just click on the published links that appear under Michael's obituary on the Sacred Space Memorial website at the time of services. That is the best way to participate safely.
