Deeply heartfelt thanks to all who joined us for Benji's celebration of life last weekend. The same goes for every gift of flowers, donations, and support of every kind, whether you were able to be there or not. Each and every offering was a gift and a solace to us.

To Benji's friends who shared memories, stories, music, and your heart's truth: you all made it infinitely more meaningful - thank you so much.

Deepest thanks as well to Pastor Pedro Silva, who inquired deeply and earnestly into who Benji was in the weeks leading up to the service, and gave us a stunningly beautiful eulogy that honored, uplifted and inspired, and which resonated even with those of us who knew Benji best.

And to Boulder/Denver-area poet, educator, and performer Aimee Herman (aimeeherman.com) who dove selflessly and with great compassion into that same space of connection and care, and gave voice to it in a poem written just for Benji that captured something ineffable and moved all of us in a way words rarely can. We will post that poem here soon.

May the love that surrounded Benji, and that you all shared with us so generously, continue to ripple outward in all of our lives.
