Moira, What a lovely celebration of life, especially Kemon’s. I was with Rhoda and Kemon under the beech tree on the day of the Garden Club Tree Tour. They planted that tree many years ago and shared the story to visitors as we offered lemonade and cookies. To our delight, many children climbed its welcoming branches.
Life truly is a continuing circle.
