Hi Bert, can you send me your parents home address? I made shirts for them and I’m ready to send them. Thanks, Laura

Jul 03, 2018 10:55:02 AM Me

Sure! 76 second street Waterford, NY 12188

Here’s the back of the camp shirt for your dad.

Nice!

Hi Laura, checking in with you to see how you’re doing and if there’s anything we can do for you. I texted yesterday to check on you and got a reply back from someone else. I typed the wrong cell number by one digit 😊 and they didn’t reply until late. Let me know if there’s anything we can do.

Jun 27, 2019 11:09:39 AM (Read by you after 27 seconds) +18057941454

That’s funny. I’m OK over here,just crying a lot. I sat outside and talked to Nat this morning. It seems so logical to me that he would hear me out in the trees and the breeze. God, I miss him.

It’s good your communicating and processing emotions. I know none of this feels normal and sometimes makes no sense, but it will get easier over time.

Jun 27, 2019 11:14:49 AM +18057941454

Thank you. I heard from Sallie that Aidan is taking this hard. How are you and Liz?

Jun 27, 2019 11:14:53 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

Also, we’re thinking of having small gathering of people July 5th, one week from tomorrow. It would be just for family and friends who knew Nat. A chance to get together, share stories and our love of Nat. What do you think about that? Would that be ok with you?

Jun 27, 2019 11:15:09 AM +18057941454

Sounds great to me.

Jun 27, 2019 11:15:23 AM Me

We’re good over here. Processing it day by day, moment to moment.

Jun 27, 2019 11:16:41 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

What we’ll do is create an invitation, and then we can share it with you so you can invite friends you would like to include. Sound good?

Jun 27, 2019 11:17:05 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

We’re thinking pot luck, thoughts on that?

Jun 27, 2019 11:17:40 AM Me

Let me know when you can, no rush

Jun 28, 2019 1:49:50 PM (Read by you after 39 seconds) +18057941454

How is everyone doing today? I’m feeling just a tad lighter, and able to think a little more. Pot luck and a chance to share memories would be great. And healthy and healing. Laura

Jun 28, 2019 1:51:15 PM Me

Hi Laura, we’re good here. Working on an invite now. When it’s ready I can send it. What’s your email address?

Jun 28, 2019 1:56:18 PM +18057941454

Hi Bert, how is everyone today? I’m feeling a lot better. No tears yet, went to ballet class, talked with friends, and talked to Ric at HW. Laura

Jun 29, 2019 4:18:32 PM Me

We’re pretty good. Declan and Darragh are with friends, and Liz and I are with Sallie down in Monrovia to watch Aidan’s Muay Thai fight

Jun 29, 2019 4:19:09 PM +18057941454

Oh, good!

Jun 29, 2019 4:20:58 PM Me

We just got here.

Jun 29, 2019 4:21:12 PM Me

Very interesting scene

Jun 29, 2019 4:21:27 PM +18057941454

I hope he does well!

Jun 30, 2019 9:39:28 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

Hi Laura, Just replied to your email. Thanks for getting back so quickly. I should be able to send it back your way later today.

Jun 30, 2019 9:48:05 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

Hi Laura, a question came up. Would you like someone to ‘officiate’ part of the evening? Do we want to get religious? Or keep it casual and non-denominational?

Jun 30, 2019 9:51:50 AM (Read by you after 5 minutes, 57 seconds) +18057941454

Religion is not something that was in Nats life. I don’t know why that would be part of it.

Jun 30, 2019 9:57:56 AM Me

That’s what I thought, but I wanted to ask and make sure

Jun 30, 2019 4:26:31 PM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

Hi Laura, Just made the edits to the invite and sent it back to you. Liz made one edit about sharing food “in a potluck” You’ll see the change. Otherwise if there’s no other changes let me know and I can send it to you so you can forward it to people to invite.

Jun 30, 2019 4:26:34 PM Me

Let me know when you can.

Jun 30, 2019 10:57:04 PM (Read by you after 20 minutes, 10 seconds) +18057941454

It looks great

Jun 30, 2019 11:17:26 PM Me

Thanks!

Jun 30, 2019 11:17:55 PM Me

I think Liz is good too. I’ll send the email to you and Liz

Jun 30, 2019 11:18:55 PM Me

You can invite whomever u like

Jun 30, 2019 11:19:39 PM Me

If we can have a rough guest count by Wednesday that would be good

Jun 30, 2019 11:28:04 PM (Read by you after 13 hours, 12 minutes, 5 seconds) +18057941454

There won’t be that many from me. Just a couple of people.

Jul 01, 2019 12:42:15 PM Me

Emailed you the finished email this morning.

Jul 01, 2019 12:42:34 PM Me

The RSVP is all setup too. You can click the button and try if you like.

Jul 05, 2019 10:03:19 AM Me

HI Laura, Looks like we’ll have just around 20 people if everyone shows. If you have a nice photographs of Nat, it might be nice to bring them. We can set them up. See you later today!

Jul 05, 2019 10:04:28 AM (Read by you after 9 minutes, 54 seconds) +18057941454

Yes, I pulled some photos yesterday and will bring them up. Can I bring anything else?

Jul 05, 2019 10:15:29 AM Me

Not that I can think of right now.

Jul 18, 2019 11:27:49 AM Me

Hi Laura, been thinking about Nat, and that made me think of you and I just wanted to text and check in and see how you’re doing. Hope all is well

Jul 18, 2019 11:30:11 AM (Read by you after 8 seconds) +18057941454

Yes, I am much better than before. I can actually get through the day without sobbing. My heart still hurts terribly but I think that will be for a long time. Nats obit will be in the Ojai Valley News tomorrow.

Jul 18, 2019 11:30:23 AM (Read by you after 3 seconds) +18057941454

How is everyone doing up there?

Jul 18, 2019 11:31:09 AM Me

That’s good to hear that you’re feeling better. Still having hurt is totally normal, and would make sense that feeling is still there when you focus on it.

Jul 18, 2019 11:31:22 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

Thanks for letting me know about the Obit. Didn’t know that. Does Liz know?

Jul 18, 2019 11:32:02 AM (Read by you after 3 seconds) +18057941454

I mentioned it in an email but can you let her know?

Jul 18, 2019 11:32:12 AM Me

Everyone up here is good. Kids are busy working, Liz is out riding horses, I’m working and we’re getting ready to leave for NY on Monday for Liz’s race in Lake Placid a week from this Sunday.

Jul 18, 2019 11:32:57 AM (Read by you after 3 seconds) +18057941454

Cool! That trip will be great, I’m sure. I hope she does well.

Jul 18, 2019 11:34:31 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

However, one bit of news is that my Uncle Michael, my dads younger brother by 4 years, passed away from a long cancer battle this past Sunday. They just had services for him yesterday and today—just off phone with my parents. I will get to see all my relatives when we visit. My uncle was always good to me, and he was great guy. So, for me its been tough losing people who I consider close to me.

Jul 18, 2019 11:34:54 AM Me

Losing them so close together in time.

Jul 18, 2019 11:35:10 AM Me

The trip will be great and I’m looking forward to it.

Jul 18, 2019 11:40:51 AM (Read by you after 6 seconds) +18057941454

I’m so sorry about your uncle. And losing two people in four weeks is very hard. I’m glad you will be with your family in NY. That will help. Have a great trip.

Jul 18, 2019 11:41:09 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

It will for sure. Thank you!

Hi Bert, how are you? Just checking in to see what time you are planning to arrive at HW tomorrow. Laura

Sep 07, 2019 3:49:26 PM (Read by them after 3 seconds) Me

Hi Laura, waiting for Liz to get back from camping with Thacher students. We should know later today.

Sep 07, 2019 3:50:36 PM (Read by you after 3 hours, 57 minutes, 25 seconds) +18057941454

Good. Let me know if you have questions.

Sep 07, 2019 7:49:16 PM Me

Think we’re good. Planning on leaving at 12.

Sep 07, 2019 8:04:31 PM (Read by you after 1 day, 15 hours, 3 minutes, 5 seconds) +18057941454

Wow, that’s early!

Sep 07, 2019 8:04:40 PM (Read by you after 1 day, 15 hours, 2 minutes, 56 seconds) +18057941454

I’ll be there around 3.

Sep 07, 2019 8:05:01 PM (Read by you after 1 day, 15 hours, 2 minutes, 35 seconds) +18057941454

I’m coming with Paul and Maryann.

Sep 09, 2019 11:09:31 AM Me

Hi Laura, just checking to see how you’re doing. It was such a great service yesterday for Nat. Really enjoyed it it was really lovely and just so nice. A fitting tribute. Thanks so much for helping organize it. I hope you’re having a good day, be well!

Sep 09, 2019 12:41:31 PM +18057941454

Thank you, Bert! I thought it did a great service to Nat and his legacy. I’m exhausted and feel like I could sleep for a few days! I had brunch in West LA with a former teacher at Shalhevet and now driving back to Ojai.

Sep 09, 2019 12:43:06 PM Me

So great you were able to stay and meet this morning. We got home very late last night. Stopped and got dinner. Only thing I wish is that we got more time to visit with everyone there. It was so great to see everyone, some of whom I’ve not seen in many, many years.

Sep 09, 2019 12:43:42 PM Me

Even today I’m still feeling the effect of that event yesterday.

Nov 22, 2019 7:39:50 PM Me

Hi Laura, hope this finds you well. Reaching out to see if you could make it for Thanksgiving? Liz tried texting you but did not hear back. Let me know if you can make it and how things are going.

Nov 22, 2019 7:49:11 PM (Read by you after 13 seconds) +18057941454

Hi Bert, thank you! I did not get a text from Liz , though if she tried my old phone I need to give her this number. I’m going to Ventura with friends to a restaurant. I’m sorry I missed her text. Otherwise I’d be there. Laura

Sep 19, 2020 3:44:42 PM (Read by you after 22 minutes, 43 seconds) +18057941454

Hi Bert, I waved to you yesterday when you were on the track with Winston. I’m up at Thacher now three days a week teaching a pod of middle schoolers. Liz told me that you might know the password to the Thacher WiFi. Can you pass that to me? Thanks, Laura

Sep 22, 2020 8:01:57 PM Me

Hi Laura! Will you be there tomorrow?

Sep 22, 2020 10:46:09 PM (Read by you after 11 hours, 25 minutes, 44 seconds) +18057941454

Hi Bert, No, as of this week we have moved off campus. We were in the way of a dance class, so we are meeting at my studio on Bryant Street.
