National Day of Remembrance for The Missing |
| January 18, 1998 will mark 27 years since Christine
Eastin of Hayward disappeared from a car wash on Mission
Blvd. I've arranged (on short notice) for about a
dozen churches (one in Kauai) to include a prayer request
for her -- and all missing persons -- in their services
this weekend. Two online prayer groups have further
mobilized this time of remembrance. A friend in
Idaho will be announcing it on his radio show, and it
just goes on and on, with so much support from the
heart. I am now working toward securing a National
Day of Remembrance for The Missing, and would
like it to be January 4, Christine's birthday. She
is the original impetus, and the focus should be on
life. Too, I feel the first week of the year is a
wonderful time for assessing and renewing that which is
important to us. If the support I've encountered in
the last week is any indicator, this dream should come
about. I'm sure all your wonderful Sunset alumni will keep her alive in their hearts, and let her motivate them to help others. Fondly, Judy Ruiz Verhoek |
