Lovey's BUTTERFLY Memorial Garden Planting Party

Hi folks,

On Sept. 2nd, 2007 in honor of what would have been Lovey's 61st birthday, we will begin planting Lovey's butterfly memorial garden in Lovey and Marilyn's backyard.

The digging will start at noon. Please bring a butterfly plant, or a shovel, or soil, or helping hands, or a loving heart. Please also bring a dish to share. You don't have to be able to help dig to be there. Just come! Your contribution of spirit and your loving energy will be appreciated. Besides, what would Lovey's birthday be without you?

The butterfly garden was Lovey's last gift to Marilyn for her 50th birthday. We would very much appreciate seeing all of you there that feel so moved. We will also hold a short 12-step prayer meeting during that afternoon to honor Lovey's memory.

If you need more info, contact Laura R at lrifkin@sbcglobal.net.

Rest In Peace

Rest In Peace

We have held you in Love

These last difficult months;

You were surrounded with Love

The moment of your passing.

We will miss

Your cards, your cakes,

Your smile, your faith,

Your welcoming hugs.

We will honor you

By remembering such generosity of spirit,

-- Sharing it with each other

And with those we would help.

So rest in Peace

Our dear friend,
Marilyn's beloved,
Everyone's mamele,

God's butterfly.

Lovey died last night at 9:34 pm, surrounded by friends, family, prayers and Love.

Marilyn requests some quiet time for herself right now, but please feel free to post comments here to support her and each other. (Click on 'Rest in Peace' above and then click on 'Post a Comment' below.)

A memorial service is being planned in late September. Contributions to defray the cost would be appreciated payable to: M. Carole Malone for Lovey’s Butterfly Fund and sent to the house at: 2873 Lincoln Ave, Richmond, CA 94804.

And if you see a butterfly in the next few days, chances are…
