The memorial service today for Don Johnson was very nice. Centre Stage was in attendance and did some great performing. Jenna gave a lovely eulogy, and Robbie sang some numbers with Kevin Rose and Keely Milikin that were very nice. There was a bagpiper doing "Amazing Grace" and "Danny Boy." And a 21 gun salute and "Taps."
Afterwards there was a reception at the house - lots of good food and plenty of familiar faces: Kristin and Charlie Mendel, Tony Tedei, Mrs. Rittenhouse, Sandee Gray, Maria Gray, Margaret Mira, Sue Wiliams, Kip and Judy Gomez, Jo and Bailey Porter, Robin Sieverling, and others I recognized but didn't know their names!
Eliza, Erin mentioned that your note was very sweet and she truly appreciated it.
Thinking about Don brought back memories of Girl Scouts and Brownies and Mayflower and Clifton and train trips and Mammoth and Girls' Camp - all the aspects of our friendship with the Johnsons.
Friends are indeed precious.
