I would like to take the time to say THANK YOU to all that came and helped set up for Glens Wake. Without the crew from McDara the week before cleaning up the site Glen's Wake would not have happened, there was so much to do. So thank you to all of the McDara crew that made that happen !!! The day of the wake for Sue and I started at 6:00 am. .We made it on site by 9:00 am, by 10:00 am we had a crew to start setting up. By 3:00 pm we were done setting up. Without all those friends from both McDara and QME helping we would not have been able to accomplish the job! THANK YOU TO ALL FOR MAKING GLEN'S WAKE JUST WHAT GLEN WOULD HAVE WANTED.

.To all who sang, played music and told wonderful stories about Glen, THANK YOU. To Rick Lainhart, THANKS FOR THE PIG :), to Donna and James, THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A WARM, HEARTFILLED SLIDESHOW OF GLEN'S LIFE. I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR DOING THAT! IT WAS AWESOME!

To Tom and Patty THANK YOU for being so GREAT and for allowing us to have the wake at GLEN'S home away from home. THANK YOU for lending us the tables and chairs and allowing us to run over the preset time.

I want to THANK EVERYONE who stayed and helped clean up and tear down McDara on Sunday. We all know how tired you were, and your unselfish
contribution was GREATLY APPRECIATED by Sue and I as we were so out of energy by then.

LASTLY, I want to THANK Glen's family who allowed us to return just a hint of the love back to them and Glen that he has shown us throughout the years.
Life is Good.

So in case you hadn’t quite figured it out, My Dad’s Wake is this weekend. It’s being held at the Koronoberg Faire site, in Corona, and it’s off season so they’ve graciously allowed us to use it! Many heartfelt thanks to all who have made this possible. You know who you are and if I started to name names I would miss someone and I do not want to take that chance.

Please visit the QME Facebook Page for more info.

I just wanted to let everyone know that, as far as the Family is concerned, this is a “come as you are” event. The Family will not be “dressing up” … we won’t be wearing Ren. Faire clothes, YOU can if you want, but My Father was Sooooo much more than just Ren. Faire and we are celebrating his WHOLE LIFE, not just one aspect of it. He Surfed, he Raced Motocross, he was a Master Brick Mason, an Artist a Writer and so much more that we just want to make EVERYONE feel comfortable that wants to come and celebrate and mourn with us. So please, feel free to dress as you please. It WILL get cold as the night comes so be prepared!

Finally, I’d like to share this thought… My Dad loved a Banquet, actually my Dad WAS a Banquet… Come one, come all, plenty for everyone! Also, as Ferghus MacRoi, he was King of the Banquet! Our hope is that we can all gather together and eat and drink and reminisce and have one more Feast in honor of the man we all Loved. There will be a loose schedule of events. Dad was not much for structured ceremonies and formalism and such, he liked to just play things by ear. If for some reason you think you “know” how these things should go… FORGET ABOUT IT. We’re just gonna raise a glass or two… say a word or two… and get our hankies wet with tears of sorrow and laughter! So if you feel a need to light a flame or some such thing it best be Sterno to keep the food warm! The King of the Feast would expect nothing less…
