Misti's family has planned a memorial for Amir at noon Sunday 10/14 at La Loma Park-1339 La Loma at Glendale Avenue - Northeast Berkeley.
The Reed family is also hosting a memorial on Friday (10/19) for friends and family and requests that members of the press not attend.

Will anyone from the courtyard be able to go? Can we all get them something? Or at least let them know that Misti and Amir had us, and still do? Misti's family will probably be so completely wrecked that I don't know that they will care....
I hate this! Why, why why did this come to this? Julia
The memorial today (Sunday) is open to the public. Please come and share your love and support for Misti and Amir.
I just got the information about today's memorial. I would like to attend the Reed family's memorial next Friday if people think that's appropriate.
I was wondering whether arranging a courtyard gathering in memoriam would be feasible - but perhaps not, given how far-flung we all are these days.
My heart is so heavy!! I never, in a million years, thought this would have happened to Amir! I am praying for Misti b/c she's been in SO MUCH pain and sadness for years!
I will be at the Memorial on Friday.
A Village reunion would be Great!

Hey Everyone-
I think everyone's contemplating the idea with attending the Reed Family services; I think at this point, it has nothing to do with the Reed family, but everything to do with Amir. We all need a place where we can gather and find solace, I know I do...I always find myself coming back to this site because right now it seems to be the only place that I can come too, and gather with people who know both Misti and Amir a little more personally and understand, if even a little, the life they lived, both beautiful and hellish at the same time. It’s a place that isn’t judgmental of the actions that Misti took, regardless of how we feel about them, we are all still aware of who she was and the difficult life she lived. We know that she struggled to keep it together for the sake of Amir and loved him so dearly, he was her world, & she lived for her “sweet pea”.
I think the memorial service on Friday is an important part of the healing process for all of us, I know I am struggling with telling little Clifford what happened to Amir, who Misti continued to remind me “is a big guy in Amir's eyes”. I am struggling with all this myself and I am not sure if I am ready for my son to go into mourning...which I know he will. I will have to tell him soon, I know, but in my own time. In the meantime, I hope that everyone finds the understanding in their hearts and realize that we are gathering on Friday to celebrate the beautiful life of this young Prince, and to mourn the fact that we will never know what would have become...only to guess from the life he lived here with us, that his future would have been magnificent!
Hope this helps, and I pray for all of us, that in someway this will bring us the peace and understanding I am sure we are all searching for, may this incident reminds us everyday how precious life is, and to always cherish it...especially the life in our children!

Does anyone know if there is a grave for Amir? It would be nice to have a place to visit when we're thinking about him
Oh Amir, I will always think of you. You would have been so much bigger now, you would have grown well into the gentle seriousness and intelligence that seemed so uncanny and precocious when you were just 8 and 9.
