Atlanta Events

I referenced in a previous logistics post the fact that some additional plans were in the works for ways to help remember Ashleigh.  Here are some updates.A group of good friends (Ashleigh's sorority sisters at the Georgia Tech chapter of ADX) has organized a satellite gala event in Atlanta.  It's being held on the same evening as the Gala in Dallas, and there has even been talk of a virtual connection between the events.  We'll see if smarter IT minds than mine can make this a reality, but in the meantime if you can't make it out to the Dallas Gala please consider attending the one in Atlanta. The link to sign up for tickets...

Looking Back

It's been almost a week since Ashleigh's funeral.  I almost said "my wife's funeral", but she's not my wife anymore.  The marriage vows say "til death do we part", and those vows have been fulfilled.  I'm very thankful for the fact that together we fulfilled them about as well as anyone could hope, given a shortage of years.  I have very few regrets, we had a whole year to say goodbye, and we loved each other well through the end.  For such a horrendous disease, Ashleigh...

I will post Ashleigh's full obituary as soon as it's online at the funeral home website.  For now, I wanted to give you a quick update on logistics so those of you making plans can continue to do so effectively.To friends who don't live in Dallas TX (and even those who do), please hear and understand that we understand other obligations, plans, and financial constraints - that for those of us not in a casket, life goes on.  Eventually.  What I'm trying to say is you shouldn't feel...

Sunday Worship

Dear Friends,I know this is old news by this point for most of you on Facebook.  As much as I would have loved to make an official announcement before it went viral, I recognize that particular wish is a tall order in the era of social media.  I especially apologize to those of you who I would have liked to call in person before you heard through the grapevine.This morning at 8 AM was a bright, sunny, Sunday morning in Dallas Texas.  It promises to be one of the hottest days of the...
