Today marks the 2nd Jarhzeit (death day) of my cousin Leslie’s daughter Rachel. Racel died of opiod-overdose after years of struggling with addiction. Rachel left a young daughter Kennedy

I was thinking of Rachel when I got asked to help out with the my new friend Lena C’s http://allourhearts.com project.  Allourhearts is a project devoted to spreading the message about the opiod crisis and celebrating the life of its victims here in Vermont. 


2 weeks ago. Families of the victims got together to make small heart shaped clay stones. The back of the stones had the allourhearts.com website pressed in them using stamps that my freind Pike and I cut on the laser, the front of the stones had the person who died name written in it by hand. 

Today I was looking at the all our hearts site and I found a movie that our freind Eva created around the event . It’s really nice. you get a sense of the families stories.. Rachel story would fit.

There’s a nice piece towards the end where Lena describes how they  adapted the stones idea from Sam stones which they did with our blessings.. it’s so nice to see how this came out. 

Thinking of you Leslie, Bret and Rachel nite all, nite sam -me
