The memorial service for Colin was held in Edmonton on Saturday, February 7th, and it was a lovely afternoon. The three children spoke, as did family friends Craig and Barbara and Jane, and Al tied it all together by singing 'To everything there is a season' accompanied by his guitar. Stories were told, tears were shed, laughter was shared, and food was eaten. I'm pretty sure that Dad would have enjoyed it!
Some of us then gathered at the house for more conversation and refreshments. These pics below capture, I think, the warmth of the event.
Many thanks to everyone who was there in person and many thanks to those of you who ate a chocolate biscuit in Colin's honour that afternoon!
