Today was Maries Celebration of Life..   It was a touch day. with lots of tears.. and some great laughs.   We started at the house with a bunch of Maries friends and family getting ready.. we were practicing  a song Marie liked

Around 3ish we headed up to the Barn in Underhill to help with set up. We were doing the broadcast , audio and recording. It was a beautiful place.. Mostly set up for weddings.. iMarie wanted folks to wear bright clothes and celebrate.. .. it was a good setting for that.

There was a wonderful slide show running with music that Marie had composed.. it was beautiful.. and very sad to watch.. Mari was such  a wonderful  and active woman..

Around 5 Nina, the Chaplin from the Hospice called us to order.. and gave a nice introduction

Then Maries brother Nate gave a truly wonderful tribute to his sister. it was moving and funny,, . really beutiful

then Nate and his girlfriend Syd led us in singing Cold Play’s ‘yellow” .. a song that Marie really liked

 

Nina closed the service.. then we all gathered to talk and remember Marie

After the gathering about 40 of Maries friends and family gathered over our house for more stories.. and watching movies with Marie, Nate.. and some of of Sam

 

It was a long hard day.. lots of tears and some good laughs. I think it was just what Marie wanted..

nite all, nite sam
