The reason we are waiting for a month to hold this memorial event is due to a couple factors, first, we were not prepared for his departure and wish to be more financially prepared for what we want to do in honor of his memory. Plans are to use his ashes to create a new gemstone, the Wadestone(aka:Shadystone) his favorite color was Grey so it seems appropriate. These will be gifted to anyone who attends his memorial or contacts Danielle with a request. The other factor is due to loved ones that live in locations farther away, we want to give them more of an opportunity to make it for the event. Any contributions(i.e. flowers/ donations) will be displayed/ accredited for at the memorial event.
