I want to say a huge THANK YOU to you…my family and I have received such incredible and wonderful letters of love and condolence for the death of our Father.
Also, a big thank you for privately sharing with me your personal stories of loss…your stories of memorial services and interments…your uplifting thoughts and gifts of wisdom!
And I’d also like to share this message from a dear friend, Dwight:
“Monday the 19th [of July, 2010], at 10AM MDT there is going to be a small prayer/celebration service at the Temple for your Dad and you and your family. At the conclusion of this service, I will be inviting the Mindfulness Bell to sound for each year that your Dad was here [90]. Then I and a few others will be heading over to Hawrelak park where we plan on flying a kite for a bit and then releasing some balloons with special thoughts, wishes and prayers for you and your family. I was introduced to the kite flying and balloon release as a way of dealing with grief and celebrating the person and their family, a couple of years back. I find it to be so rich in symbolism and powerful in the healing energy of Mother earth.”
Thank you Dwight and friends!
I can already feel the peace, love and energy!

Hello Mrs. Hack and family. I was sad to read about the passing away of your Dad. I am sure he was happy to be in yours and your sisters arms when he passed away. I am sure he felt your love and felt peaceful. Me and my brothers will be going to the park across the street from us and will fly a kite too at the same time Mr Potvin and everyone will be flying their kite. And later today we will all go and plant a tree in your Dads name. He will continue om giving life and offering shelter and protection to all who will sit under the tree.
Your friend Tony
