Great meaningful story Jeremy. I truly was ‘oh my god’ when you said you were on your way to a funeral. You did make me feel better. This story, your writings really puts it all in perspective. Thank you. Love, your crazy Aunt Jill. 🤗🙃☺️❤️

It’s amazing to go to a memorial service of someone like Fred, who has been an institution in a community for his whole life (absent four years for college). And to see in this experience, many diverse threads of our lives showing up under the same roof for a couple of hours — and so many other beautiful threads that were distinct to Fred and his relationship with others.

What a beautiful human tapestry: lobstermen, teachers, principals, environmentalists, history and archaeology buffs, family, new and old friends, and even a US senator.
