The Schumachers are one of many caver families that have been affected by the
Bastrop fires. The fire razed their home and all surrounding structures. This
weekend there will be a visitation to the site for all those who wish to come.
Contact Wes at 512-762-3003 if you need additional information.
Location:
120 Robin Rd. Bastrop, TX
Time:
Saturday, September 10 ยท 10:00am - 2:00pm
Contingent upon fire suppression and free access to the land...We will
be congregating Saturday, September 10th at 10am in remembrance of a
home par excellence, with friends, family and loved ones.
We really can't express enough the thanks for the outpouring of love and
support we have gotten from all of our friends.
Although everyone wants desperately to come out and help with the
cleanup/rebuilding process, that simply isn't
possible at this time. We must wait on the insurance adjuster to look
over the damages and asses things before we begin clean up. Also, it is
simply too raw a wound to clean just yet.
However we don't
want everyone to feel as though there is nothing that can be done. Right
now the best thing you can give is your compassion, and we want to
allow an opportunity for grieving and condolences to flow freely. And
so, we will once more open our home to all, welcoming them to bid
farewell to a place and honor the virtue of hospitality.
We
have always believed that to cherish something is to share it and give
it life. Over the years you all gave our home life by visiting and
sharing it with us, enriching and bettering it in the process. We want
to thank you and offer you a chance to say goodbye to the place.
Please bring chairs for sitting and cameras for documenting the site.
Feel free to play artistically with the stark forms. The air is dusty
and smokey so respirators/face masks might be a good idea, as well as
clothes that can get dirty & closed-toed shoes.
We will
raise a toast to the gods of hearth and home and curse the fates for
their cruel indifference. We are wounded but we are not diminished for
we have hope and friends and family.
Wes~
