The Hudson family said today a memorial service for Jennifer's slain mother, brother and nephew will be held Monday morning at Chicago's Apostolic Church of God.
The service will be for invited guests only and, in lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to the newly created Hudson-King Foundation.
Plans for a public memorial have not been announced yet.

5. I hope any donations to the fund actually go to victims of domestic violence and not into a family members pocket. If JHud is smart about this she'll have controlling interest placed in the hands of an uninvolved party who is schooled in finances and experienced in dealing with 501(c)3 organizations.

6. TMZ Please look into the claims that Balfour has not been allowed to have an attorney or visitors. 6 days in jail with no lawyer? I have to wonder if they beat the crap out of him and are keeping him hidden until the marks fade. If he is in fact being denied council that police department is in for a huge law suit.

8. Why should they have a public memorial service? These poor people were just regular folk, they weren't politicians or celebrities. Let the family deal with it privately. I really doubt they want, or need, the neck craning public to "mourn" with them.

13. It is going to take a very long time for her to heal from this. My heart goes out to her. Its a good thing she's got a wonderful man by her side to help her through this time.

14. I don't know if TMZ meant to put up a pic of Darnell (photo on the right). If you did, that isn't Darnell, that's Julia Hudson. I've seen that on another website. The actual photo from left to right is Jen, Darnell and Julia. Someone should correct this!
