We attended a beautiful celebration of life memorial yesterday. You can't imagine the shockwaves that roared, when he died suddenly and very unexpectedly last fall.
It was a loving service for a young coworker of my husband’s that will hopefully bring some sort of high level of closure to his immediate family; whom are devastated.

| Rest in Peace Dennis.... TAKEN: SEPTEMBER 10th, 2022 |
My husband has been very close with both of his parents for years, as he and the lad’s dad had also been coworkers since my guy joined the company (when he was fifteen years of age) and they worked together right up until a couple of years ago, when John retired.
Like most, I never look forward to occasions like these. Primarily because I have deep personal struggles when it comes to processing a death. I’m not sure why, but my inner thoughts are because I have seen so much of it over the years.
Just like weddings, funerals are that similar occasion where you come back in touch with so many you never see on a regular basis. As weird as this may read, yesterday was one of those days when you were grateful we are able to hug again.
One fella, who I have known for decades, I hadn’t seen in over a decade. Though my husband sees him once a week, it took an occasion like we attended yesterday for us to reconnect.
Others, though we know of the other on some level but have no real connection, reacted to each other with profound respect of each, in hope of helping John and Brenda heal.
Goodbye for now Dennis. Sleep well…. You are truly missed.
PS: Say hello to Smartie for me.
PSS: He'll be the one making everyone around him smile. xo
