After

The two weeks leading up to the memorial service for Al were hectic. Britt and Alfie had to fly to North Carolina to pack up the house and get it ready to sell. This was an unbelievable amount of work cleaning, boxing, loading, coordinating. They said they put in 15 hour days the whole time they were there. They arrived after having driven for 2 days with a 17 foot truck full of stuff which I was able to help unload into a storage space. The rest of the week was spent in preparation for the memorial service. Although it was quite hectic planning for it through intense currents of emotion and sleepless nights, the event was wonderful. Lise, Elena, Alfie, Bobby and Tom spoke and Britt put together a wonderful slide show of images of Al's life. There was alot of tears and laughing... intense just the way Al would have wanted it.

Isaiah looks like he's filling out - or it could have been the angle on he camara.

I sure do miss those boys! Maybe we'll see you all next year. We'd really like to make that cross-country trip we've always dreamed of.
