Love Abounds

As a professional in the design and events world, sometimes I have the honor of participating and sharing my talents for events with people who are dear to me. This weekend was one of those exceptional times.

Preparing for events is an act of love. Whether I'm setting up for family, friends or gatherings of various events, it's still an act of love for me.

Family Reunion- My nephew and his darling wife came to visit and my sister had a family reunion, potluck style! What a wholesome sweet time together.

Going away party- As I prepare the tables and flowers I realize that this is a bitter sweet send off to our dear neighbors as they travel their way around the country. The 'hood will miss them but we are all so excited for their new adventure!

Memorial Service for my Italian Familia This was the clincher...setting up, coordinating and participating in the memorial service for my dear sweet Italian family. Being part of this day with the family as they were grieving the loss of their dad, grandpa, husband and friend was emotional. It was an honor and a privilege for me. We cried, laughed, reminisced and had moments of silence. All of this in the midst of family members helping to set up, taking direction and helping to create a beautiful space for a beautiful man! Salute, Mr. D'Angelo! You will be missed.

Salute Mr. D'Angelo!
