We have confirmed Saturday November 20th at 11am for David's Celebration of Life at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 37 Miller Street, Belfast Maine. There will be a service with luncheon afterward. If you have a particular story you'd like to share about David, or photo you want to bring along, please do.
4 Hrs driving time from Boston, 2 hrs driving from Portland, 1 hr from Bangor. We can help with housing (some beds, some camping style, in our home and others in the neighborhood), with pick-ups from Bangor, with bus info and more directions if needed. Please come friday night and stay the weekend if you'd like. Belfast is a beautiful, fun town. David lived here 25 years and would love that you walked in his shoes for a while if you can and desire to.
There will be a gathering at our home afterward for those who want to continue to visit together. That address is 125 City Point Road, and is 2 1/8 miles from the church, a very easy, pretty drive by the Passagasawakeag River where David spent many hours walking, biking, skinny-dipping, kayaking, and contemplating.
I felt David in the sunshine yesterday, and feel his appreciation for everything we're all doing to honor and love him now. Hope to see you Nov 20th!
love, Tara
To Everyone:
ReplyDeleteI've written short notes to both in-town and out-of-town folks below (and anyone can read any).
To Everyone from out of town:
I have two beds that I can offer for Friday and Saturday nights (11/19 and 11/20) in my cabin with my daughter Cat (8 yrs old) and me. The cabin is rustic (outdoor toilet, hand pumped water), intimate, and cozy. We're two miles from the UU Church and probably four miles from Tara's on City Point. For showers we have access to the very nice YMCA one mile from the cabin (or an outdoor shower!).
To Everyone in town:
Cat and I got back from four and a half (almost continuous) months in Texas late on Tuesday (11/2). Before going to the cabin we came by the barn and put a note in David's beautiful boat. I'm grateful that the forces of the universe supported our getting back in time for that (and I also would have also treasured being here to offer support these last few months had that been in the cards). Please call on me for anything.
To Everyone:
Much love to you all, and thank-you for your love for David and for each other.
Huge hugs,
Mitch (Michele)

The Brewers will be there with bells on.
