21 years ….. I had just gone to visit Buff and family. Mom called us with the news. I felt sad and a bit lost. Wanted to do something to acknowledge the loss of such a kind gentle man but there was nothing to do. So Buffs kids helped me construct a floating wreath of local vegetation and flowers. We set it to sail on their pond in George’s memory. It felt like an appropriate honoring.
Such a perfect honoring. Thank you for sharing Jan. I love how connected our families have been for so many many years.
Thank you for this, Jan. Beautiful and yes, perfect. And what Rebecca said.
