So here again, I'd highly and strongly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone who comes across such tough but important moment in life. All I want to say is that we could have not had our sudden loss of our family beloved soothed and taken care of if not with Andrew'd sympathy and timely arrangement - it was the most we needed at such difficult time. Thank you, Andrew for every thing!

It is beautifully landscaped with flowers, plants, and trees, many of which have ID tags on them so you know their breeds! It's like a rustic outdoor museum, and easy to spend two or three hours walking around checking everything out. The main entrance has some free brochures outside that you can grab (donations are appreciated), one of which is a cemetery map and self-guided tour, showing where famous people are buried. That map sure kept us busy and was a lot of fun! By the way, the parking lot at the main entrance is free also but very small--only three or four spaces--but there seems to be lots of street parking if the spots are taken.

This review is a little over do but I felt the need to share my experience here at this funeral…read morehome. My mom passed away Jan 3rd and this is where she had my grandpa's funeral and many years ago my grandmother's funeral was held here so me and my 3 brothers decided to have my mom's here. We had Jessicah Shoemaker as our funeral director. We read reviews after we had arranged to meet with her and decided we would have our own experience with this funeral home hoping all would turn out fine. After meeting her she seemed fine and trustworthy. We took care of picking everything we needed to for my mom's funeral. As time went by we would reach out to her a few times with no response so I did have to talk to someone higher than her by the name of Scott who got things rolling for me. Day of funeral 1st Wen me and my siblings got there we wanted to set up the decorations we had to make things look nice before anyone came in and have a moment together unfortunately a group of family got in while we were setting up. So I let the lady that was apart of st.marys know if we could lock the doors before anyone else got in. Then another person came in and the lady apologized for it and said shed lock the door. Eventually we had to unlock the door because people were trying to get in at the other end (This happened because we were unaware we could ask to have a moment alone with our mom before people arrived) this is a moment me and my siblings will never get back. 2nd Jessicah was no where to be found until 30min before the funeral started and that was Wen she let me know they been having issues with their microphone and that it wasn't working. (It would of been nice to be made aware of this in advance so I could bring my own speaking and microphone) she did offer their speaker and microphone which they rolled out and set up for us again during the viewing of the body minutes before the funeral started. Unfortunately the speaker wasnt loud enough. No one could hear in the back of the hall. Horrible 3rd. Wen it was time for the slide show we made it wasnt playing so I went to the back to see wat the malfunction was and it started to play but there was hardly any sound. I asked them to make it louder because we could barley hear it while sitting in the front row it literally was like someone was whispering because the sound wasn't working and Jessicah said thats all it could go. My niece had to use her phone to play the songs so we could hear the music that was attached to the slide show. I asked Jessicah who would I talk to regarding all this and she said all of wat? I had to explain all these mess ups and she said it would be Scott. Me and my older brother were stressed out at my mom's funeral unable to mourn and sit like we should have been able to. I was very dissatisfied with the way all this went down. I had a meeting with Scott who then basically told me he was sorry but sounds like there was an issue with the sound system that day and that we should of let Jessicah know we wanted a moment with our mom wen we were planning her funeral(Which we've never done this before so we wouldnt of known. I feel like the director should ask us if wed like a moment on that day before allowing everyone in) but thats pretty much it. He made excuses for Jessicah and her role and I felt he down played the way things went. He even told me that He'd probably be like me a perfectionist running around taking care of things instead of being like his sister and sitting and letting things just roll and not care if they weren't going right. We paid 10,000 to lay my mom to rest. This was a special day that we just wanted to go right. Its sad that there was nothing that could be done even after telling him all my concerns. I felt the fact that the sound system wasn't working was a good reason to deduct some of the cost because its apart of wat we paid for. Just wanted to share my experience with this place. If u decided to still use them just make sure u keep a close eye on everything and ask questions. Make sure their sound system is running correctly and let them know if u want an alone moment with ur loved one while planning the funeral.

Marsha guided us through the process from the beginning to the end with patience and understanding at a difficult time. She made herself readily available to answer all of our questions and responded promptly if she was unavailable at the time. Seeing her there on the day of the funeral had such a calming effect on us. I am so glad we were able to work with Marsha and the friendly staff at the funeral home as well as at the cemetery.

Walking through and reading the stones really puts into perspective the minuteness of life's little problems. As Morrissey puts it in the song "Cemetery Gates": "So we go inside and we gravely read the stones. All those people, all those lives, where are they now ? With loves, and hates and passions just like mine - They were born And then they lived And then they died". I actually can't stand Morrissey, but I've always liked that line.

Southside Park Community Garden is located in the City of Sacramento California. It is one of…read morethirteen gardens parks managed by the Department of Parks & Recreation. Within this particular park are a total of 40 lots . The lots are rented out to local residents for a small yearly fee . With warmer weather still here in Sacramento. Everyone's garden is in full bloom and producing wonderful flowers, fruits and vegetables . Within the confines of the park is a community gathering area with picnic tables and shade supplied by a huge pine tree. Here one can sit and relax after a hard days work in the garden. There is even and area for kids to play and to garden. All the garden area is surrounded by a fence and the entry gate is locked. Only renters have access to the gardens. Coming back to this neighborhood always brings back a lot of wonderful childhood memories ! This part of Sacramento still looks the same as it did some 50 years ago. "Frozen in time !" Compared to other community gardens that I have visited, "Southside Park Community Garden "is by far the most productive!

A lovely hidden gem in West Sac! We were invited to an outdoor wedding at the event space and I was…read morealso curious about Black Walnut Estate..living so closely and having never heard of it before. It gives vineyard vibes: serene, semi private, a small man made coy pond and one of the biggest trees I've ever seen in person (perhaps it was a Walnut Tree!). It's a great space for outdoor, season dependent event, but tents and covered space could also make area good for multipurpose used. The not so favorites: Internet service is not good, we also had no access to Black Walnut Estate's guest internet (password protected), and the parking area is unpaved which would make parking challenging in inclement weather. Sadly I could not capture any pictures, as we were attending a private, intimate event, but the space has lots of potential for a variety of events (corporate, private, celebratory, covered, uncovered, etc.).

He's a rare find-hard working, honest, meticulous, and time conscious. On my job, he (due to his professionalism and his pride of work, I feel) went beyond the quote and addressed all the "little" inconsequential abnormalities in my fence and repaired at no extra charge. Also I would like to add he fabricated the gate handles for me and I couldn't be happier. Plus he also added a coat of paint. Would love to give 10 stars if possible. I highly recommend.

United Against Hate Week (September 21-27) is a call for local civic action to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. I am passionate about violence prevention efforts, and it was truly inspiring to see so many community partners come together to table, network, and raise awareness about racial and gender-based violence in the Asian American community. The event featured a film screening followed by a panel discussion accompanied by light refreshments. I'm grateful that Sacramento is participating in national, United Against Hate Week and actively engaging in rapid response planning to mitigate the impacts of an emergency like the Atlanta 2021 shootings. I left feeling more equipped and empowered to navigate my resources, and most importantly, report hate crimes and incidents when they happen.
