Mike’s ashes are buried in the Masonic Cemetery. This cemetery is a peaceful sanctuary located very close to our house. His plot is northwest of the top of the hill under a large Douglas fir tree. Shrubs and small trees surround the area creating an arch of vegetation with a bench on either side. I am grateful to have such a perfect place so close to home where I can sit and think of Mike on a daily basis. I hope you can visit the site, sit on one of the benches and take it all in.
The day following the Celebration of Life, our immediate family met at our house. We walked up to the cemetery carrying the urn and flowers. it was a sweet, intimate graveside gathering with a lot more tears than the Celebration and still plenty of smiles and laughter.
I continue to feel blessed and grateful to be surrounded by so many friends and family during what I believe to be the hardest time of my life. Thank you all for being there for me!
Really beautiful! I can just imagine your walk together and the different energy of the day – continuing to be suffused with love. The urn is perfect. I look forward to visiting Mike there. Thank you, Laurie, and all who contributed to the healing Celebration of Life.
Very sweet.
Thanks Laurie for sending the photos of Mike’s final resting place. It does look for very peaceful…
God Bless You…
Cruising my computer this morning where the blog is bookmarked, instead of my phone- to see two posts I hadn’t seen before. I’m glad you are posting Laurie and a wild hair thought of collateral beauty and how my other replies to a post went to Mike…
