The second celebration of Nancy Fox’s life will take place this Sunday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Pacific time, 7 to 8:30 Eastern, via Zoom.

Nancy and Woody in Montreal

The format will be loose, with whomever wants to talk or do music doing just that, but with no speaking over another participant.

I’d prefer, as I did with the first celebration, that Nancy’s life be the focus, not her death.

The successful in-person, open-house celebration at the Novato home of Laura Schifrin, Nancy’s daughter, last Sunday drew 60-plus loving friends — and Kevin, the wild turkey who apparently insisted on personally greeting each guest. Hannah Schifrin, our granddaughter, continuously corralled the big pecker and directed traffic.

Laura and her partner, Adam Fox (no relation to Nance), spent four days preparing their home and the food to be served at the tribute to my partner of 36 years.

Charlie Hickox schlepped his keyboard from Fairfax so he could play throughout the event (including a medley of Nancy’s favorite tunes).

As for me, I reveled in receiving more hugs in one day than ever before — as well as the sensation that my recently departed spouse’s spirit was present the entire time. She’ll undoubtedly be there this Sunday as well.
