Journal entry by Becky Olsen —
A reminder that the Celebration of Life for Dave will be this coming Saturday at 1pm CDT. So many of you have apologized for not being able to come, mostly because of Covid and please, I totally understand. Dave wouldn't want anyone to put themselves at risk for him. In fact, he really didn't want a service unless it was something I needed to do for me. Which I do. I have that in writing, in a long list of instructions he gave me several years ago. Well, okay, there was that thing about a Viking funeral pyre set afloat on Percy Priest ... but no, we're not doing that. Neither will we be listening to the entirety of Mozart's Requiem in D minor, but it's okay, too.
The service will be streamed live on my Face Book page, and I will make it public for those friends of Dave and church friends who are not mutual friends. Afterward, in a day or so, I will upload it to our family web site and will come back and share the link.
My friends, you are all amazing and we will never be able to thank you all enough for the cards, donations, phone calls, and prayers. He's been gone four weeks today and it just doesn't seem possible. But we move on and learn new ways of doing things. We don't like it, but we do.

Much Love,
