Dear Wayne,
On Tuesday, Mandy, Dan, Mary, Tom, Caitlin and I took your ashes to various spots in Leavenworth to let them go. We didn't make it to Icicle Gorge because the road was washed out but we found some gorgeous spots anyway including one way up high that you used to love. On Thursday, we (just the three of us) went to Montana to finish saying goodbye. We had a short service with a gun salute that made most of us very weepy and then everyone took the rest of your ashes to the river on a 20 mile float trip. They are in the river. Before we went on either journey, Carol Ann brought out tee-shirts with your picture on them that we all wore to the cemetery and some of us even down the river. Later we came home to Fern's and played the CDs of music you loved that Carol made. Fern did a great job organizing, Lucile and Bob did a great job cooking and everyone else just pitched in and helped make this weekend a success. You are loved by everyone and you are sorely missed. There was a glaring absence this weekend but this was very healing for everyone. I will always love you. Good bye, My Love.
