Life Celebration

Hey all, just wanted everyone to know some important things because as Dr Seuss says "Do not cry because it's over, laugh because it happened." We spent the day away from home getting the fine details taken care of. Natalia's ashes will be spread across Monterey Bay next Saturday. I can not say enough about Serenity Funeral Home. They have been incredible with us. It is easier to deal with practical side of death when you are with peaceful people and Mary and Allen emanate peace.

Natalia's Life Celebration will take place on Tuesday, April 7Th, at 10am. It will be at our church...Trinity Southern Baptist on the corner of Winery and Holland just north of Viking Elem. We would like everyone to wear bright colors and if you wish to share stories of Natalia there will be an open mike portion...Edgar will, of course, be saying "a few" words. Please anyone who would like to come please please please feel free to join us.

***In lieu of flowers, we would like you to donate the money you would have spent to either Family House or the Central Valley Make A Wish. If you have been reading the blog, you know how much these 2 organizations have touched our lives. Their information is located on the left side of the blog.

Note: Joni, your poems truly rang through our souls and said exactly how we are feeling...please anyone who would like to read them scroll through the comments of the "Goodbye Talia" post.

Yes, I'll probably keep writing for a while. As I have said before, this blog has become a great way for me to work things through in my mind. While I am at peace with Natalia's passing, I am working through the tsunami of missing her.

Much love to you all,
Roni
