6th Anniversary of Bob's Passing
4/7/2012 - Marie and Michelle will spend the afternoon celebrating Bob's life on the 6th Anniversary of his passing at Simpson House Tea Room. While trying to determine what to write in this morning's post, one of our Facebook friends wrote the following. We thought it was appropriate to share here. "Sometimes when darkness and pain and loss get to be overwhelming we retreat, we sit in hiding, we cover our heads. Maybe we have hope, maybe we have lost all hope. We all forget sometimes that truth will stand, Love will win and Joy, which never really left, will return. Hide if you must but get ready to raise your head again. Wait for it..." - Alan Marx. Thank you Alan! Thank you Shannon Arvay for the gift of Tea! Thank you Greg Fisher for countless hours spent working on the audiobook! Thank you all for supporting us in the last year in anyway!!
