Memorial Service in Remembrance of Javier & Walfred Rabanales
A special memorial service honoring Javier and Walfred Rabanales and their humanitarian work will be held in Utah during the third week of September. As soon as the location, date and time have been finalized Top of the Morning will post that information right here. We are hopeful that the Rabanales children and other family members will join us for this special remembrance.
Memorial Gathering In Remembrance of All Crash Victims
Many thanks to officials with CHOICE Humanitarian for a heart felt remembrance of the Guatemalan plan crash victims Friday evening, August 29th. You can view photos and get details of the memorial gathering in this Deseret News article, at this Deseret News slide show, this KSL news clip, and this Fox News video segment. A memorial assistance fund to help the surviving Rabanales children Josue, Daniel & Lara as well as other crash victims can be found here.
Please comment with any memorial thoughts or words of comfort for family and friends.

Thank you everyone for your comments here at the Top of the Morning. Please continue posting any memorial thoughts or remembrances here or on the "Good By Dear Friends" post below where most of the memorials have been posted. Your words are a balm to many aching hearts.
Top of the Morning will post updates about the coming memorial service in September as soon as those details are finalized.
Thank you for having a memorial here in Utah for the Rabanales's. I know a lot of Utahn's were effected, and though we can't fly to Guatemala, it will help to grieve here in Utah. Thank you. -Meghan
Thanks Meghan. So many of us in Utah held deep personal affection and for and had strong ties of friendship with Javier and Walfred. We think it would be very appropriate to have a special memorial for them scheduled far enough in advance to allow everyone who knew them the opportunity to attend. And we're very hopeful that Josue, Daniel and Lara along with other family members will be able to attend. Thanks to the generosity of family friends here in Utah, we think that will be a reality.
All the best,
David G. Woolley
I knew the Rabanales for a few brief months in 1996 when I was assigned to their ward as a missionary, Javier had just been called as bishop then. They were the best of the best, and Guatemala is a poorer place without them.

A common misconception about cremation services is that when you choose cremation you cannot have a traditional funeral. This couldn’t be further from the truth. You have more memorialization options rather than fewer. Here are just a few of the ways you or your loved one can be honored.
• Funeral with a viewing, cremation to be held after.
• A funeral without a viewing, cremation to be held after.
• Memorial service at a traditional funeral home followed by interment of the ashes.
• Memorial service at an outside venue.
• Scattering of ashes at a location with meaning to the deceased.
With so many options, planning becomes all the more important. This is especially true since how much your cremation will cost will be determined in large part by the type of service you have. For example, if you opt for viewing it will be necessary to have the body embalmed. It will also require some kind of casket. A few months ago I have taken the services from Philplans/Heritage Park, who provides the best services and facilities, and a team of highly-trained and dedicated professionals at your disposal, and they are ready to offer much-needed assistance and comfort in your time of great emotional need and beyond.
