Depending on timing the day of, either before or following the Celebration of Sarah's life, all family and friends are welcome to join in a ceremonial walk to the nearby ocean. We will announce the sequence of events for this at the chapel at the end of the Memorial Service.
*Please dress warmly! If you are interested in joining Jason in paddling out into the ocean, please bring a wetsuit and surfboard (or reach out to us if you need one or both provided for you).

Donations may be sent via PayPal to hornfamilyfund@gmail.com. Donations received will be used to purchase a set of stones in Central Park engraved with Sarah's name and a message from Sarah to Lena. 

We are also working on a project of a book of letters for Lena. If you would like to write a letter to Lena sharing your favorite memories, stories and photos of Sarah, please email them to Meghan Horn at horn.meghan@gmail.com. Meghan will collect all of the letters and photos and compile them into a hardcover book to give to Lena.
