We had a wonderful celebration at Prairie Creek Lodge on Friday, Sept 10. There were about 150 people in attendance many of whom braved the heat and walked or rode to the Green burial grounds where Kathy and several others have been laid to rest.
After the journey we enjoyed music (by Leo Nico and Nancy Lasseter), food and drink together. Hutch (Alachua Conservation Trust), Freddie (Conservation Burial Inc) and Rob (Putnam Land Conservancy) briefly talked about their 3 organizations - all of which we very dear to Kathy.
We showed an 11 minute video of Kathy that I shot after she was first diagnosed with the brain tumor. She smiles at the camera and starts off in her usual style with a lead in... "I bet you wonder why you are all here..." And then the she begins... "it's for me to tell you how I feel at this moment in my life."
During the filming it began to rain harder and harder so please excuse the background noise. This video is in two parts. The first is about 8 minutes and the 2nd is about 3. Don't skip the second as it ends with love, love, love. There are two more videos on the side bar. Google/Youtube put them there and I cannot get rid of them... They are about other Cantwells.
Special thanks to Hutch and his staff for all they did to make this celebration so successful.
And a special thanks to all the green groups and environmentally minded folks and Kathy lovers who were in attendance.
