Dear
Seahawk Families,
I
wanted to share with you information about services (Funeral, Burial and Vigil)
for Nabra that are taking place:
Funeral:
Wednesday
at 1:30 PM
ADAMS
Center
46903
Sugarland Road, Sterling, Virginia 20164
Phone: 703-433-1325
Here
are some tips for those attending the funeral:
· The ADAMS center has two levels. Those
attending who do not practice the faith will be seated either in the sanctuary
area in chairs off to the side or on the balcony level. Men and women are
separate in the sanctuary area and guests seated in that area will also be
separate by gender.
· Please dress conservatively – shirts should be
elbow length or below and pants or skirts should be at or below the knee.
Dressing conservatively is expected. Head coverings or scarfs for
women are appropriate if you choose.
· The funeral service is not very long (30 mins).
For those who are guest, our role will be to reflect in quiet while observing
the traditional prayers . Unlike most Christian services, there are not usually
speakers or tributes done.
· There are no flowers – do not bring nor do any
groups need to send.
Burial:
· The burial will take place afterwards (address
not available yet). The ADAMS center is providing some transportation for those
who would like to attend. Please note that the burial is a very quiet, somber
ceremony with a lot of tradition. The men in the family take the active role. It is most appropriate for family
and close friends to attend.
Vigil:
Wednesday at 6:30PM
Lake
Anne Village Plaza
11426
Washington Plz W, Reston, VA 20190
No candles please!
This vigil is
being organized independently by students but is not an FCPS supervised
event. A HUGE crowd expected so
students and families attending should ensure they plans for where to meet up
if they get separated. Carpooling is strongly encouraged as Lake Anne
Plaza has limited parking. Parking is available at Browns Chapel,
United Christina Parish and Lake Anne ES. Please visit the Facebook page
for more timely updates as the planning for this event continues with many
community partners involved.
