Reconnecting with my cousin Ted and his partner Mary in Hawaii after many years of not seeing each other was very joyful for me! I had always loved Ted - our families, each with 5 wild kids - did a lot together as we were growing up and we had a lot of fun! When I moved to Hawaii in 2017 and Ted and Mary were moving there too, we had some wonderful visits together and they brought Christopher and me
to the canoe club for a morning paddle to see the sun rise and visit with the whales. I will never forget this time in the bay and am so glad Ted's ashes will be there - this will make him very happy! I miss Ted and am sending much love to all who loved him - wish I could be there in person for the ceremony but will be watching the live stream with love and appreciation for Ted!
