Dear Chris,<br><br>So sorry to hear the news of Colin's illness and passing. Pat and I send our condolences and want you to know that you, Colin, and your family and friends are in our hearts and thoughts. We have fond memories of the wonderful time we spent with you both at your place in 2005. <br>
<br>I am also at the conference here in Colorado and will be among many others in honoring Colin this evening.<br><br>We send much love and many blessings,<br><br>David and Pat Eisenberg<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 6:41 AM, Chris Newton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@newtonhouse.info" target="_blank">chris@newtonhouse.info</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Hi Laura</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That is an incredibly kind gesture, Colin would have wondered all the fuss
was about. We have just finalised plans for his Wake tomorrow. Let the bale
heads know that his coffin is made from recycle corrugated iron roofing, and it
will be sitting on 2 straw bales.</div>

<div>Love to all </div>

Chris,
<div> </div>
<div>Please know that we will be creating time to honor him and his gifts to
this community Thursday evening here at the conference along with the
celebration of Judy Knox. Peter shared that he brought a photo collection that
he will show to the entire group gathered here. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>You and he are in our thoughts here, and I'm sorry to have never had the
pleasure of meeting him before his passing. </div>

<div>Many, many blessings to you at this time,</div>
