The Kuljian family members swept out to sea at Big Lagoon will be remembered on Sunday at 3pm at Arcata High School’s main gymnasium.

Three of four family members were swept out to sea after their dog Fran was pulled into the waves while chasing a stick.

Family friend Tisa Lucchesi-Cook spoke with KHUM this morning about the memorial.

At Olivia Kuljian’s request, there will be a sing-along to “(I’ll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time.” The Andrews Sisters tune was a family favorite, says Luccesi-Cook.

“(I’ll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time”

I’ll be with you in apple blossom time.
I’ll be with you to change your name to mine.
One day in May, I’ll come and say
Happy the bride that the sun shines on today.
What a wonderful wedding there will be.
What a wonderful day for you and me.
Church bell will chime,
You will be mine,
In apple blossom time.

I’ll be with you
(When?) 
In Apple blossom time
(Then what will you do?)
Then, I’ll be with you to change your name to mine.
(When will that be?)
One day maybe in May,
(Then what will you do?)
I’ll come and say to you dear
Happy the bride that the sun shines on today.
Then what a wonderful wedding there will be
(One day in May)
What a very, very wonderful day for you and me dear.
Church bell will chime,
You will be mine.
(When?)
in apple,
in apple blossom time.
