          Dear Family and Friends, 
             
          I am writing to share the  details about the memorial service planned for Beverly Eckert, our friend and  colleague who tragically died in the plane crash last Thursday evening in Buffalo, New York.  
            
          Beverly’s family is holding a memorial service in Buffalo this Saturday,  February 21st.  The service will be held at 11:00am at St.   Joseph's University   Church located at 3269 Main Street, Buffalo,   New York.  For directions  to St. Joseph’s University Church  visit their website at - http://www.stjosephbuffalo.com/.   A reception will follow at the Buffalo   Academy of the Sacred  Heart, 3860 Main Street,   Amherst, New York.   
            
          It is likely that a memorial  service will be held in Stamford,   CT in the near future.  We  will keep you informed as details are made available.   
            
          I want to thank each of you  for your heartfelt words of encouragement and condolence.  Your notes will  be sent to Beverly’s  family.  As you know, Beverly  was an important part of the 9/11 community, and her meaningful advocacy work  supported the efforts of many organizations.  We will miss her friendship  and her commitment to making a difference.  
                  
          Beverly’s family has created a beautiful tribute in her  memory.  You can visit the website at www.rememberingbeverly.com.   
            
          Please feel free to contact  our office with any questions.  
             
          With deep sadness, 
            Mary and the VOICES staff
