Title

To celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the Affinity Memorial Chapel

Body

WHEREAS, in December 2017, the Affinity Memorial Chapel was established under the leadership of Lori Diaz, first generation funeral home owner located in Columbus, OH; and

WHEREAS, Lori began her journey in the funeral industry in 2007, when she served her Funeral Director’s apprenticeship under the late Mr. David Gary at Gary Memorial Chapel; and

WHEREAS, Lori believes that being in the funeral industry is indeed a ministry and a true calling. Affinity was birthed out of a need to grow a firm that desired to go "Beyond the Funeral," and be a pillar with community engagement and outreach; and

WHEREAS, Affinity is a dedicated funeral service establishment, which provides individualized funeral services designed to meet the needs of every family.  The Affinity Memorial Chapel will celebrate its grand opening at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sunday, February 4^th, 2018; now therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:  That this Council does hereby congratulate Lori Diaz and the Affinity Memorial Chapel on providing the “Finiest in Service” to our community. We wish you much success!
