Today was Carol's memorial for the Islanders from 3-5 pm at Jerry and Jack's house at the end of the road. We kicked off the day with a lovely breakfast of oatmeal and ice cream on the front porch!
Then we drove the golf cart around so Cat could practice driving in case she needs to drive people around later today.
It was a little tense as the hour approached because a lot of people were arriving on the 2:45 ferry and then Clay was arriving on the 3:45 ferry. But it all went to plan and it was absolutely wonderful. Many locals and friends from the mainland were here to commemorate Carol. Karen spoke a bit, Michelle (from Jackie's all female jazz band a few years ago) played 'A Closer Walk with Thee' on the trumpet, and then Clay read a poem that he wrote about Carol. It was really special.
Then we went back to the house for a bit of a happy hour
We met up with Karen and Clay for dinner and heard some great stories about the days of Clay and Carol dancing together as part of the Theatre Dance Trio, then called it a day.
