Celebrate the Life


Today I am attending Eilish's funeral - a wonderful woman with a beautiful soul.

Although I am sad that she is no longer with us; I don't want to wallow in her death but to celebrate her life.  This is something the Greeks do when a person dies - they celebrate. It is a time to reflect at the memories that she created - to remember how she enjoyed her pina coladas when we would go out for dinner, how she ate a few lobster tails one year when I grilled steaks, lobster tails and had a clambake.  That she enjoyed getting a manicure and a pedicure and buying Christmas ornaments.

We are on this earth to touch as many lives as we can and Eilish did - as a wife, mother, grandmother, nurse and friend.  I will miss her.
