in loving memory

On June 13, the Soley family (my mom's side) gathered at the Soley farmhouse for cleaning after the passing of Grandpa. I think he would have been proud of all of us that day -- We worked hard, we worked together. We remembered. We laughed. We were family.

Here are a few of the day's extravagant moments...

In loving memory of Gordon Soley | 1919-2009

[...] And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed. [Maya Angelou | When great trees fall]
