Thanks for the reminder. I'll be lighting a candle here.

I'll be lighting a candle as soon as I get home today and will keep it burning as long as I can

Is it OK for me to participate, as someone who didn't know Marilyn well? Lighting a candle this evening.

I didn't know her all that well either, but I admired her for perseverance and intelligence in her posts.

And I have my hat on - and yes, that IS me

[Fausta]

If you want to participate, please post in here. Everyone, regardless of religion, is welcome to participate. If you can't participate at 8pm your time, feel free to pick a different hour, I can promise you that neither Chavi, Elspeth, nor Marilyn would have been sticklers about the time.

 
I'm in, with an appropriately black-veiled funny hat. I'll be lighting my candle in honor of the passed but not forgotten about 7pm (GMT+2) and let it burn out, which would make 4-5 hours.

I changed into something more human, with a silly hat on.
The candle will be lit a bit later this afternoon and burn through till bedtime.

Hat wasn't silly enough, so I stuck some Nerf darts up my nose.

Got my silly hat, too.  I will light a candle later in the afternoon or in the evening.

Hat is on, candles are ready.

Another year. I miss Chavi so much. And Elspeth and Marilyn...so hard to believe they're gone.

Candle lighted.

As is ours.

Here's a poem that Kelly (then known as Celtee) wrote in 2008:

The anniversary is come
This day once a year
Our hearts now are heavy
We’ll shed many tears

Chavi Ravenna
Your spirit lives on
Always we remember
Tho two years have gone

Our memories of you
Are now bittersweet
But close to our hearts
We ever shall keep

Chavi Ravenna
Sweet shining star
Always so close
Yet ever so far

Storyteller Cat
Dux Bellorum, War Duke
This day we salute you
And laugh through our tears

Celtee

In memory of Chavi.
