Service for Jake Lloyd Tuesday Sept 25 at 4: 30

Hi Everyone,

Jake chose a "natural" burial-- for lack of a better word.  The place is called Memorial Ecosystems Ramsey Creek Preserve.  The address is 
111 West Main Street Westminster.  It's about 27 minutes from UUFC.  We can decide tomorrow about carpooling.   There is a reception at UUFC after the ceremony.

With this type of ceremony,  time  is of the essence. 

The only ceremony will be at his graveside, and this is where we will be singing.
These events make me all cry- y and we will just do the  best we can under the difficult circumstances.  It is a wonderful gift we can give in such sad sad times.

We will decide tomorrow night what to sing-- it will be acapella.  My idea was the buddhist song May You Be Filled with Loving Kindness.  Susan Chandler suggested  Comfort Me.  Both are in the teal hymal.  Several of us have sung these before and both songs are wonderful in different ways.   I am open to other ideas as well.   ( Elizabeth is not able to give any input- or I would have checked with her. ) 

Sara and I went to Elizabeth's today and took some food over.  She  was not ready to see any one yet.  We did get to meet  her sister, Jessica, and her adoptive father, Peter Cohen.   So, she has family all around her.   She is not alone.


Thanks to everyone for being part of my  life.  I will see you tomorrow at  6: 15
