[News Boquete] In memory of our Joey

I'm at  loss for words, but I would like to post some loving words from our

longtime and forever friends Ellie and Kevin in California...

The unfathomably tragic murder of our friend Joe has been ever present in my thoughts this past week. This inexplicable loss is having a profound affect on me and it feels the same to the many friends of Joe and Betsy's, who are literally, all over the world. We have all had varying types of losses in our lives. Too many, no matter how many. l certainly have had my share; some, very tragic. Yet this violent act (something that, until now, I've only had to read about), is very hard to get my head around . For one human being to unjustly steal the life of another. It's unreal. It's unbelievable and it's so very, very sad. Joe was such a good friend to so many.

I've been struggling to deal with my natural instinct to try to "fix it", to find something I could do about it. I get that, practically, there really isn't much that we can do. From the conversations and emails with friends, my sense is that many of us are having similar struggles....
So, what can we do ?

I would like to suggest that tomorrow, Friday the 31st of July, at 12 noon PST, we collectively UNIFY our love and powerful positive energies by taking 5 minutes out of our busy day to stop whatever we are doing and just be quiet...and hold Joe, Betsy and Lorraine close to our hearts. You might want to symbolically light a candle, others might want to meditate, pray, chant or just pull over on the side of the road and close your eyes. It doesn't matter what you do and it doesn't matter what you believe in.

Holding space and honoring the life of a friend IS something we CAN do. Many believe that this type of synchronized unifying can have a powerful influence in promoting goodness, love, and positive change. This world we are living in is in dire need of help. Betsy and Lorraine need help healing. We ALL need help to heal. And Joe deserves our love and thoughts as well.

Please pass this email on to anyone you feel should be part of this circle. It is not necessary for them to even know Joe to make a difference. 
Again, tomorrow Friday, July 31st (a blue moon) at noon PST. 

Thank you, 
Kevin and Ellie
Look into unify.org (a non profit founded by a friend of our family) for more information about synchronized unification and the positive changes it brings to the world.
