It was cold and snowing, but on Saturday, Jan. 13, more than 50 family, friends, and co-workers gathered to remember and celebrate the life of Milo Warnock. Mike and I were deeply touched.
We could not have put on this reception without daughter Hallie. She coordinated everything – the room, the food, the photos and slide show, the order of service, the programs. No detail escaped her. And a friend of hers came from Seattle to serve as our presenter. It was a lovely memorial to Milo whose untimely passing in a brutal way has left us reeling.
“I just thought he would get through this trouble and be back,” one person commented. That’s what I thought, too.
“Milo always wanted everyone to be happy in his presence,” said another. So true. Milo would not want us to be sad. Milo would even apologize that we are sad on his account.
We still have much to do and our work is cut out for us. KW

I'm so glad so many people came to help give you comfort. And Thank you to Hallie for putting it all together. Love and hugs to you all!
Well done. Thanks, Hallie.
The comfort was great. Our hearts were touched. But beyond that, it was important to see that Milo was valued in his world because of the circumstances of his passing.
It exceeded my expectations and I’m so glad.
I agree, Hallie.
