I'm sorry to report that the date I had been given for the celebration of Cedwyn's life has been changed from May 30th to the 23rd of May.
The celebration of Cedwyn's life will be held on Saturday, May 23rd at one in the afternoon at Mt. Tabor Park in Portland, Oregon. The location is at The Crest, West Side, Mt. Tabor Park.
That is the information I have been given by Cedwyn's mom and a close friend of Cedwyn's in Portland.
Both feel terrible about the confusion and have sent along messages to all of you.
From Cedwyn's friend and former roommate:
To all of U who are planning on attending..I am deeply sorry for confusion on dates. I hope they can all be sorted out. Lisa & I are trying our best. I personally look forward to meeting any of her amazing Kos friends & sharing some mementos w/U. If U know a special song, have a great photo or something to share, bring it. I will be decorating the split rail fence overlooking the city, w/her special things & will have a board we can put photos on. United in our love for our dear Cedwyn, let's celebrate all the glorious things that make her so special.
From Cedwyn's Mom:
I want her friends to have a virtual celebration of her life if they are not able to attend her celebration. I realize she had friends all over the world - and we are all connected by technology - and that is a wonderful thing..
Terry and I both shared a love of all things vintage. She was such a misplaced person - she was such a hippie but that was my generation but something in her identified with that generation. I loved her hippie dippie flower child dresses and purses. She loved to sew and I have some of her things and they mean to much to me.
Please share this with all of her friends - thank you'all for loving her. Although I'm not from Texas I have lived here more than 30 years so I talk Texas. If anyone gets to Austin Texas, give me a call - Austin is fabulous - as you can imagine.
Love to All
Cedwyn's Mom
And she means it. She has given me her contact information if any of you would like to reach out to her. She'd love to hear from you.
Just let me know.
Cedwyn's Mom is also greatly looking forward to meeting the Dkos friends of Cedwyn's who can attend the Memorial. She is so thankful for all of you for loving her daughter so well.
I'm fully aware of the difficulties the date change is causing for those of you who have already purchased plane tickets and booked hotel rooms for the 30th of May.
If necessary, perhaps this wonderful community could raise some funds to help defer the added costs of changing plane tickets. I leave that up to all of you.
I'm so sorry about this, darlins. I became aware of the date change early Tuesday morning and have since then been trying to track down and talk to people involved in the planning of the Celebration of Cedwyn's life. It took until earlier today to confirm the information and know that the date could not be changed back to the 30th.
I hope those of you who miss Cedwyn so deeply can make it to Portland, Oregon on the 23rd. If not, we'll be having our own virtual celebration of her extraordinary spirit and smile here on the site. So mark your calendars and prepare to laugh, cry, share some music, and give thanks for the wonderful woman we all knew and loved.
