Here we are at another ‘End of the Month’ memorial, a long standing tradition where we pause and remember those who have gone on before us...
George Beveridge, Jr. Leona Bohto Carol Griffin Cheryl Haapala Kenneth Larson Raymond Lasanen William “Timbuck” Matson Dorothy Mayo Gary Robillard “Innocent victims of war in the current conflict, Servicemen & women and Frontline workers who have given their all”
We all extend our deepest sympathy to anyone who has lost someone near and dear to them. May they all rest in perfect peace and may those left behind be comforted in their loss. Feel free to add the names of those you would like to remember on this page. Special thanks to Kevin Dunham for the beautiful sunset from Grand Island Landing in the Munising area for us to reflect on today.

Remembering all our service members, both active and veterans who have left us way too soon. And thankful for the outstanding sunset shot from Kevin.

Hello My condolences to the friends and families of the dead. May the good memories bring comfort.
There is a Loreena McKennitt song called "Dante's Prayer". The last line of the chorus is "When the dark night seems endless, please remember me".
I have to add Carol Griffin to this list, she was such a wonderful soul! My "other mother"! The Fashion Guru!
Mary says: Sorry about that Donna, I added Carol and George Beveridge, Jr. earlier, but somehow it got missed. My sincere apologies...
Dorothy Mayo was just such a sweet, kind soul!

Part of our collective story is how to meaningfully hold grief and hope, acknowledging what cannot be changed and still envisioning all that can.

Kathryn, I have Loreena singing that song right now, she has such a beautiful voice, wow!!

Hi The song ends with "Please remember me" repeating and getting softer with each repetion. It makes me feel like those I love who have passed on are asking this. I get a lump in my throat.

My condolences to all who have lost loved ones this month. Special condolences to Cindy Griffin. I lived next to her family for a while when I was a kid. Carol was always so nice to me.
Beautiful picture, Kevin.
