CELEBRATION OF CYNTHIA FILARCA’S LIFE
Friends,
The O’Kane and Filarca Families would like to invite you to a very special event honoring Cynthia Filarca, wife of Joe O'Kane and mother to Clare Louise Filarca O'Kane. Cynthia was taken from us way too early and she will be missed. So a special event has been planned.
Here are the details of Cynthia’s Event:
Date: November 6th, 2010
Time: 1 PM to 6 PM
Location: 977 Asbury Street
San Jose, CA 95126
The event was requested by Cynthia to allow all those who knew her to come together, meet each other, and celebrate her life in education. Her 34 years she dedicated to primary education was the most important part of her life. The hundreds of children she taught over the years, some of whom did not even speak English, were given the best education she could offer.
The cards we have received have shared many stories that you remembered about Cynthia and how she influenced you all. Come and share those stories with her friends and family.
Cynthia always thought of the kids. For her Christmas and birthday wishes she asked only for cases of paper she could use in her class room for the kids since many of the teachers budgets for paper had been reduced to a trickle. We would like to continue her wishes by requesting all who knew her to follow through with her request of cases of paper that can help her fellow teachers and students at Dove Hill Elementary.
You may bring the paper with you to the event on November 6th or you can deliver or drop it directly at Dove Hill Primary School, 1460 Colt Way, San Jose, CA 95121-1900, and (408) 270-4964 during office hours. Please let them know you are doing this in memory of Cynthia.
We will provide food and drink but if you have something special to share, bring it in a disposable container. Cynthia’s wishes are for everyone to have fun and CELEBRATE HER LIFE.
