Pat's Memorial Cruise
Pat finally lost her 30 year battle with kidney disease in September, 2004. On October 4th friends and family gathered aboard boat in Newburyport for a twilight cruise as we scatter her ashes where the Merrimac meets the sea.

This is a memory board put together by Pat's friends to stand ondeck of the XXXX.

This is one of two urns containing Pat's ashes, one to use at this scattering and one to later be interred in Rowley. The urns were made by Rose.

This is Rose, on the left, greeting Sue who she has not seen in a few years. Sue and Craig were married for many years.

Jeanne in a quite moment. Over her left shoulder is our Mother's oldest friend Pricilla and her daughter Cindy.

Clockwise around the booth: Kathy, Kendall, Ric, Charro, Barbara, Craig, and myself, Scott.

Intense discussion going on about something profoundly foolish, I expect.

And the evening sky along the sound.
