A message of thanks from my mother, Vicki Byrd
Hilton Byrd’s journey has ended. He died with dignity and serenity at his home, surrounded by family, stories, and soft music.
To all of our dear friends-
To all who posted to him-
To all who sent cards-
To all who visited-
To all who thought of him-
You all, throughout the years and the past few months, brought him such joy, such laughter, so many ideas. He was a good man, a kind man, and had such an elegant, graceful mind. He was irreplaceable and I know we each hold an echo of a laugh, the remnant of a story, the fragment of an idea he fashioned out of history, events, and the incredible immediacy of the particular moment.
He lived with love and with strength. He loved his family above all else. He enjoyed his work and his life. What a long, strange trip it’s been. We were all glad to be on it with him.
If you can, please continue to post comments, either to this post or to the main tribute post, which is here- http://allysther.livejournal.com/140989.html It will bring his family comfort and we will get to visit with you as we read your names and remember good times.
A memorial service will be held at our home on Saturday, the 9th of June at 2pm. More information will be posted here soon.
Peace. Love. Hug those you love right now.
Vicki
