"After all, to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
-J.K. Rowling
Remus planned the Memorial Service, but welcomed anyone who wished to help (feel free to write any ideas below). The Board, with the help of any villagers who donated time and skill, has the village pretty much up and running again. The Memorial Service took place in the community garden. There is now a stone path with each deceased villager's name etched into the stone. Remus read some inspirational poems, but then spoke from the heart, especially in relation to those he personally lost. Once he was done, he invited others to do the same. Soft music was played. At the conclusion of the service, villagers were encouraged to release white balloons in honor of their loved ones.
