On Tuesday, March 25th, we lost a dear friend in Liz Logelin.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, March 25th, we lost a dear friend in Liz Logelin.<\/p>\n
I have been struggling trying to understand or explain or even fathom how this could happen. We had a celebration of Liz on Saturday in LA, overflowing with people and stories, grief and sadness, memories, laughter and smiles.<\/p>\n
Matt let us know in advance that the service would be a little bit different than most, and that there would be a chance to speak if we wanted to share anything about Liz. I got up to speak, and I told this story about a supernova:<\/p>\n
There are billions upon billions of stars in the night sky, and most of those stars, when they die, slowly fade away and go dark. What’s left is a hunk of rock is that floats around without much notice from anyone.<\/p>\n
But sometimes, under just the right conditions, when the star is just the right size, gives off a certain amount of light and has just the right energy, if that star has all the special qualities, something completely different happens.<\/p>\n
These stars become supernovas. The star explodes into a beautiful display of light and color and energy, heading off in every direction. They are the most beautiful things to see with a telescope in the sky, and the memory of that star is left for all to see and marvel at.<\/p>\n
The supernova is lit not just from itself, but also from all of the stars nearby, shining through and illuminating it.<\/p>\n
We will remember Liz for her incredible light and energy and love that she gave to all around her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
