Celebration Of Jenna's Life - St George, Utah - August 18, 2007
Personal Note from Lorann Blaine!
I want to thank everyone for all of their warm wishes, prayers, donations for the boys, thoughts and comments. They have been a great help.
However, I have a special request! We are doing a candle light vigil for Ethen Asdyn this evening at 7:30 pm EST. This is in celebration of his life that would have begun today. Even though he is not here for us to hold in our arms, I want him to know that he is being recognized for the beautiful soul he is and he is loved and will be missed. I know he is with Jenna and other loved ones that are no longer in this realm but we miss him regardless.
In celebration of Jenna’s wonderful life we are going to be giving her a send off party, the way Jenna would have liked it; surrounded by good friends and family, music, food, dancing and lots of laughs. We would like to invite everyone that knew Jenna or her family to participate. It would mean a lot to have such a large gathering of energy reaching out to her. We are planning this on August 18th here in St George, UT. If you can make it please RSVP either by calling 435 652-4340 or emailing [email protected] If you can not make it please give her a happy thought or remember a time she made you smile. We are also putting together a remembrance book for the boys. If you have a story about Jenna or comments about what she was like or just a photo you have tucked away some where, would you please send it to us. This way Schyler and Kaiden will get to know their mother and remember her through all of our eyes and hearts.
This is a prayer that Jenna read at her grandmother’s funeral on her dad’s side and I thought it was appropriate to share with you today.
Do not stand at my grave & weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave & cry…
For I am not there… I did not Die!
