It seems like a life time ago that I said my last good night to Dan. The weeks following his passing have been a series of ups and downs. The waiting until the ground has thawed in Upstate New York seems endless, yet Edisto has been enjoying days of sunshine and blue skies. Dan would be enjoying the weather for sure.
A very wise man told me the other day, Martha just plan a date for the celebration of Dan's life and just go (something that Dan always said, go while you can). You all know that I am such a planner and yet the idea never occurred to me. This simple idea has certainly lighten the load I have been carrying, I know that Dan would be happy.
So, I wanted to take a minute and let all of you know that we have planned a date to gather in Friendship, New York and celebrate Dan's life. It has been a difficult time for all of us as we waited to bring Dan back to Friendship ,due to the weather in Upstate New York. I know that it has been so difficult for so many.
We plan to celebrate Dan's life with a service at the United Church of Christ, 33 East Main Street, Friendship, New York at Noon on Saturday June 7, 2014. Mom Strahan and her amazing family have offered a light lunch following the service at her church in order of all of us to visit a little longer.
I understand that life is so full and busy, however I hope to see you on a beautiful spring day in June.
My love and prayers,
Martha
