I mentioned a few days ago that there was going to be an event honoring and celebrating John Lillis<\/a>, who our community lost in March, 2006, and who I’d posted about back then  A bad day in Croton-on-Hudson<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
