This week is the week of Will's departure from earth. On Sunday, there was a 1st anniversary rite at St. Bede's in Jarrow Garden. It was a beautiful tribute to Will. Alex Braelow and Aly read the readings. It was excellent to be with dear family and friends. We love you and thank you for keeping us close. Luke Norman and his younger sisters contributed the 11 good things about Will.
1. He played with us and organized games at church camp.
2. He was funny and liked to play tricks and pranks.
3. He told us fun stories.
4. He had a fun family and friends.
5. He was fun to watch wrestle and rough house with my brother, Jake.
6. It was fun to play with him after prayers.
7. He was always happy.
8. He was sweet and helpful with Sunday school.
9. He played good guys and bad guys with flashlights with us.
10. He played Simon Says with us.
11. He was helpful in the nursery.
After the brief but moving service in Jarrow Garden, in which we were asked to share our thoughts on our hopes for Will and what we've learned in the past year, about 10 of St. Bede's youth and their friends gathered for fellowship and pizza in the Ford Room, with John Wenstrand as mentor.
Today, October 19, I am sitting looking at beautiful pictures of Will with candles lit in his honor remembering all that we shared together as a family. Janet Dickens
