I mentioned a few days ago that there was going to be an event honoring and celebrating John Lillis, who our community lost in March, 2006, and who I'd posted about back then A bad day in Croton-on-Hudson
The event was mostly organized by members of his Cornerstone retreat group, and a couple of other family friend. On Sunday over 50 people gathered inthe Garden of Peace plaza that adjoins our Church.
The facilitator, who gave a beautiful brief talk about John was John Tufanio. Here are some pictures, taken with Brigid's phone. Not the best (forgot a camera) but good enough!
John's brother Keith, his daughter Maureen and Maureen's daughter, Mackenzie Rose.
