About CW:

I have attended Death Cafe's in another city and found the format very much to my liking.  All subjects pertaining to death no matter how excentric interest me.  All of my opinions will be kept to myself per The DC guidelines but I know there will be views like mine.  Every meeting will be an educational process for all of us.


What brings you to Death Cafe?

As I mentioned above I have attended a few DC's in another city.  I've read books about life after death and having watched the process of what happens to the human body when my mother and grand mother died my interest was kindled forever.


What would you like your legacy to be?

Legacy?  I am here to serve and have no ego connected to legacy


Thoughts for sharing:

Taken off guard, spur of the moment on this one so these will come later.

The April Lawrence Death Cafe was held at the Merc on Iowa in their classroom. We had a good attendance of about 15 men and women discussing different topics concerning death.  Since the start of the Lawrence Death Cafe many of the same people return to each of our montly meetings.  The conversations are fascinating, educational and even humorous at times.  We currently have 15 people signed up for our May, Cafe and there is still room for a few more. I'll post the anouncement today.  Love to have you!

The first Lawrence Death Cafe was a colossal success! The success is due 100% to attendees! Intriguing, profound, illuminating conversations whizzing by so fast the time disappeared. A huge thanks to Mari, Bar, JoAnn, KC and everyone for a thought provoking, exciting afternoon and treats fit for kings and queens.  Posted on Facebook: Went far beyond my expectations for intrigue, education, mystery, profound contributions, spellbound interest, each person sharing with dignity and respect!
