Hello all,
I have information about two events:
1.) Gathering
Robin's family invites you to drop by our home to visit this Monday.
Date: Monday, December 19, 2011
Time: any time between 2-8PM
Place: 444 Mansfield Ave.
[You can only get here by turning North off Richmond Road (just west of the Keg Restaurant, between Churchill and Woodroffe.]
We will be providing cookies, coffee, tea and wine.
We look forward to seeing you and sharing our thoughts and feelings at this difficult, yet special time.
2) Memorial Service
We are planning a more formal memorial service / celebration in the new year. The tentative date is Saturday, January 14th, 2011. This seems to be the best date for several family members and friends who are travelling -- but we have yet to determine whether Geoff's church and hall are available.
So pencil in the date, and we should confirm the arrangements in the next day or two.
Check in with this blog for more details.
Love,
Geoff and family

Sad News -- Update from Geoff
Hello all,
Robin died peacefully in her sleep last night. She had faded rapidly over the weekend, and was mostly unconscious this week; but she did smile occasionally - when she saw a familiar face, or when we turned the lights on the Christmas tree.
Thank you all for your love and support: this has sustained Robin and all of us over many months.
We will be posting information on this blog regarding the memorial service and other events shortly.
Love to all
Geoff and family.
