Norah's Celebration of Life

While I did not keep this blog updated, it seemed an apropos spot to share information about our Norah's Celebration of Life. We were so sad to have to say goodbye to Norah, but we could not have asked for a more beautiful, peaceful, and perfect sendoff for our girl. Our home was full of family, friends, and immense amounts of love for Norah. We are sad but so incredibly grateful as well. And this past week, while hard beyond words on our family, brought with it overflowing support and love from those whose lives were touched by Norah; and that has helped to bolster us against this sadness. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, stopped by, sent/brought us food and flowers, emailed/texted/messaged and supported us from near and far. You are Norah's community and we will never forget the vital role you played in our sweet Norah's life.

We are hopeful that you will all come join us in celebrating Norah's life. Near, far, close family or friends we only knew through Facebook-- you will be welcomed with open arms and hearts. We will have lots of activities for kids to do, as well.

Here is the Evite where we would like everyone to RSVP so we can get a handle on how much food we need. Everyone is welcome!!

We would love for everyone to wear bright, happy colors to celebrate Norah and her vibrant soul. Her favorite colors were red and yellow, but she loved all bright colors! Just be comfortable-- kids can be outside playing, weather permitting :) 

We don't have everything planned yet, but so far we know that her Celebration will be held at her school, High Point. We are so grateful to the administration for allowing us to use this space where Norah spent so much time and had so much fun. Going to school brought her so much joy and I couldn't think of a better place to gather to celebrate the truly amazing life she had.

We will be gathering starting at 11:30am on Saturday, October 20th. We will serve lunch and then we will have a more formal ceremony time with readings and time for folks to share anything they'd to about Norah.

I created separate blog posts for information about High Point, nearby hotels, as well as Norah's obituary. See the list of posts for September to find all that information.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking that people consider making a donation to North Star Reach Camp. We attended family camp there this past year, and it was an unforgettable experience. We would love to help make that experience possible for more children in the future.
