To Celebrate a Life

N. Rosa Herzog 

1941 - 2025

"On the third day, the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place,

found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they

realised the new wonder; but even they hardly realised that the world

had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a

new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of

the gardener, God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the

evening but the dawn."

They are meeting in remembrance, of a life.

A woman of whom he has no visible memories.

The marriage of his mom's brother had dissolved before memories could be built.

Her offspring to him, become more like siblings, then cousins.

Every year at the clan gatherings they renewed their relationships and created new memories.

The oldest daughter had been there for him in the late teen years as he saight to construct relationships with his peers.

When one has undiagnosed autism, building lasting relationships can be difficult.

It was the disolution of the marriage that caused the loss of the nanny.

Nance moved to Bountiful to begin a life nurching his uncle's children.

So now he meets with the siblings in remembrance of a woman he may yet come to know.

He is hoping this will bring a renewal of familial relationships.

A chance to leave new memories for his brothers and sisters, children of the Eternal Gods
