***Message from the Family***

Alan and I need to focus on remembering our lifetime with Mom as a vibrant force, not the difficult decline of the recent past. It is impossible to remember Mom without all the friends she has- and to that end- we want everyone who loved her to be able to attend a celebration.

Because Alan and I need time, because Mom adamantly did not want a traditional funeral, and because cross-country and cross-ocean travel need planning...

We are not holding any funeral events at this time. There will be a Celebration of Life held at her house at some point in the future. I do not know when that will be yet. The earliest would be November, but I think the Spring of 2024 is more likely. Mom loved Spring.

Funerals are for the living to celebrate and take comfort in sharing memories. Mom's life had so much to celebrate and she touched people literally all over the world with her kindness, humor and endless well of love. I know this isn't traditional, but Mom always marched to her own beat- and she certainly raised Alan and me to do the same.

We will be mailing out a remembrance in the coming weeks, and I promise there will be plenty of notice given for her Last Great Party.

For everyone who has asked about flowers- Alan and I would sincerely prefer an alternative gesture. Between our allergies the floral explosion after Dad's and Tom's funerals were beautiful and touching but extremely difficult to manage. We would appreciate, in lieu of flowers, any contribution to us correcting outstanding issues with the home. Any checks can be made out to Diana Williams and sent to 13318 Dixie Highway #84, Holly MI 48442, or PayPal [email protected] if you would rather.

Thank you for all the love and support during this time. It has been beautifully bittersweet reliving how beloved our Mother is.

With love,

Diana & Alan Williams
