A memorial service will be held Saturday, Nov. 3, in El Cerrito for Albany High School senior Cathy Qiu, whose body was found on a San Mateo County shore on Oct. 21.

The service will be at 2 p.m. at Sunset View Cemetery, 101 Colusa Ave.

Qiu's family asked that, instead of flowers, donations be made to Qiu's favorite groups: the Albany Tennis Team and Cal Sailing Club, according to an Albany High School News update on Tuesday.

Her death remains under investigation by the San Mateo County sheriff's department.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.…Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park.
