Hi Everyone,
I'm not quite sure what to say, other than an enormous THANK YOU for your outpouring of warmth, support, kindness, flowers, food, lawn care, etc. etc. etc. As you might imagine, the last month has been a pretty crazy time, but Team Remmel was aided by such love that this sad journey is easier to bear.
Ethan's Memorial Service was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! The venue was absolutely perfect, and the weather cooperated -- we were near the water, listened to Ethan's favorite music, poetry, and ate good food. It was held on what would have been his 42nd birthday and I think the service really celebrated his life in a way that was fitting of the wonderful partner, son, father, colleague, and friend that he was. I felt truly part of a pretty special community. Additional and heartfelt thanks to Chuck Remmel, Larry Symons, and Eric Martin for the lovely stories they shared. Thanks also to Lynn Coakley for the gorgeous program.
There will be another service in Maine on August 21st. I know that it will be just as special, memorable, and beautiful as the Bellingham one. We hope to see some of you Mainers there.
Love,
Grace
