Passing of Dear Friend
Many of you have heard by now that Craig Vollmar passed away peacefully on Friday afternoon. Craig was in the company of his loving children at the time of his death. For many years, Craig has been an active community member, teacher and leader at Common Ground and an especially dear friend to many of us. May his bright spirit shine on in all who have been touched by him. May he know true peace. And may all his loved ones weather this great loss with as much tenderness and ease as possible.
Common Ground community members interested in sitting together and sharing memories of Craig, are welcome to gather at Common Ground on Sunday, May 25th at 12:30. We’ll finalize the agenda for this time together in the weeks ahead. More information will be disseminated via the weekly emails. Craig’s family is planning a memorial service to honor his beautiful life on Friday, May 30th. More information to come.
While I didn’t know Craig well, I was a beneficiary of all the work he did towards establishing the “Mindfulness in the 12 Steps” group, and I deeply appreciate his willingness to support each of these sanghas. He absolutely touched my life in strong and positive ways, and I am very grateful to him. May his family be comforted, and may he know true peace. Good bye dear man.
