Celebration of Life

On June 22, family and friends came together to remember and honour Shirley in an "Under the Tuscan Sun" inspired outdoor garden party and potluck dinner. It was a magical evening where we were able to celebrate our wonderful friend, partner, sister, artist, neighbour and fellow animal lover.

Many thanks to all who attended, and helped make this such a great event. A special thanks to the planning committee of Vanessa, Eva, and Margo who helped organize a myriad of tasks, decorations, and people. Further thanks to Scott for sound and Glen for electrical and lighting.

• Thanks to Bob for photographing the event. The photos can be found here.
• Vanessa put together this playlist for the evening's music.
• Crystal captured a number of photos of the evening.
• The guest book that was signed during the event can be viewed here.

Along with all the tasty food brought by everyone, Michael of the Grateful Griller served up some fantastic salmon.
