the Art of Remembrance

more stories, more connections...the fiber of life carrying us into death

Lea, a dear blog friend whose paths, mine and hers crossed in Mexico, the place that held her Milt's heart...in her words,

Milton E. Harris

5/5/1947 to 10/2/2010

  

Milton Harris was thinker, a man of principal, and a seeker of the simplicity of life. His magnanimous heart and sense of humor touched so many people. His beautiful hands brought beauty through the written word and his love of crafting. He loved all things Mexico, the earth, and the wings of the sky. He was a great father, a loving husband, a truly amazing human being to walk this earth.

 

Dale Richard Goode

6/25/1934 to 9/23/2013

 

Dale Goode was a farmer, a father, a husband, and a beloved brother. Overcoming huge adversities he lived his life passion of growing grapes, enjoying history- for he was a cowboy at heart, all amidst the beauty of Sonoma County, California. His sweet smile was sunshine... and warmed the hearts of all who met and loved him.

thank you Lea for sharing your stories with me and the Art of Remembrance

so lovely to watch this outpouring of love grow in magnitude. love knowing that we have shared the traditions of dia de los muertos for many years through dia de bloglandia and the art of remembering. finally our mutual love these traditions bringing us together with many other close and cherished friends to walk in the procession of flowers and light candles on the shared altar of our departed ones.
thank you for embracing this tradition and sharing it with others through your monarch inspired work.
isn't that the most powerful art of all? the creations that are born deep within us and must find their way into existence. xo

Stephanie - Thank you so much for including us in your art of honoring and remembering our loved ones. My Mom died earlier this year so it was wonderful to honor her. Today, her dog died - they were best buddies and had a deep connection. This weekend, I started an alter for my family. It is one of the most meaningful things I have ever done. I hope to get up to Longmont to see the art and tributes to our loved ones. Renee
