That Call Before 7am - Page 4

Thanks, Eric, for writing such a thoughtful account of yesterday's events. I'm so sorry for both of you.

Reading all these tributes from people who knew your dad, Audra, is truly bittersweet. Your friendship with your dad is one, I think, we'd all like to experience within our own families. Godspeed.

We are inviting Audra's friends to celebrate the life of Peter Haskell - husband, father, and friend - this Saturday, April 17. There will be an open house from 2pm – 8pm at the Haskell residence. Please come when you want. Though we mourn his passing, we choose to celebrate his life by enjoying each other’s company, sharing stories, food, and drink. Peter enjoyed life to the fullest, and he would rather we have a laugh and experience joy than wallow too much in our sadness. We know he would want a memorial party, not a memorial service.

We hope Audra's friends can join us to share stories, to share a laugh or a cry, or both, and to help keep collective spirits high. Dress is very casual (jeans and t-shirts are more than welcome). Food and beverages will be provided but more are always welcome. PM or email me (NirvanaMan) if you are interested in attending and I can provide you with address information.

I wish I could go, but alas, I will have to attend in spirit only.

Cadaverous Pallor · 04-14-2010, 08:24 AM

Damn, we actually have plans. We'll be thinking of you.

Kevy Baby · 04-14-2010, 01:56 PM

We plan on coming and bringing noise.

innerSpaceman · 04-14-2010, 02:35 PM

I will be there, on the early side - as I have a prior engagement for the afternoon/evening. But I won't rest till I give Audra a hug and pay my respects, so I'll certainly be there in the early afternoon.

Not sure we can swing by we'll see since we do have plans for most of the afternoon but know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this particular time.

Disneyphile · 04-14-2010, 04:32 PM

Our continued thoughts and prayers are with the both of you and the family.

We already have plans that day, but I'll see if we can change them to at least stop by for a few.

Much love to you both!

We will definitely be there. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
