I miss him and am still adjusting to him being gone. This past summer, I had a dream in which he told me he would always be with me. I think it's true, both in terms of his memory and his influence that I carry with me.

The church she was born into and I frequented. I still visit here when I go home to the USA to visit and many of the older members are still good friends of my family. I lived abroad 8 years and happend to be home when she passed away and got to attend and speak at her funeral here.

Going with Aunt Jan to buy Christmas presents was a tradition. It usually took the entire day. She would have a list in her "pocket book" with everyone's name and cross them off as we shopped.

Adam attended Newington Green Unitarian Church for some years. He made a considered decision and took his own life on his 50th birthday, having suffered physically and mentally for many years. It was a shock to those he left behind. Those of us who remember him, still miss his contributions to the services.
