A Blog is Born

It's now been a week since Todd passed away and we're all very sad, but we're also pulling together, and I think Todd would be glad about that. We thought it would be a good idea to set up a blog in his memory, so here it is. But how do you capture a person's life in words? The answer is, you can't. But talking and writing about him helps us manage our grief.

I hope this will be a place where we can all write about our memories of Todd, his life, his service, his mind, his tastes, his humor, his friends, and everything else that came together to form that special characteristic "Todd-ness" we now miss so much. We may also decide to talk about his death, and the criminal case now underway, but I hope we won't dwell on that side of things too much. There was so much about Todd's life that was good and worth celebrating.

Todd, it was a privilege having you here with us! We're so grateful to have known you, and even more grateful for our knowledge that life persists beyond mortality, and that we can one day be with you again.

With all our love,
Lisa et al
