In Memoriam: Neil James Headland |
Neil passed away on August 4, 2012, in Seattle from complications of liver disease. He was preceded in death by his mother, father, stepfather, and beloved dog. He is survived by his cat Hector, one brother in Canada, and by a group of the most wonderful friends and extended family of choice, whose love and strength carried him through his final months. It is their love and strength that made it possible for him to reach the stairs to heaven.
Neil remembers his co-workers from the Food and Nutrition Department at Northwest Hospital in Seattle, where Neil was the executive chef. Special thanks to Kathy Heffernan, Chaplin at Northwest, for her spiritual guidance, which gave him spiritual strength, as well as the nursing staff at UW Medical Center for their loving care while he was at that hospital.
'Do not look for me, for I am not there. I am now the whisper on the wind, the ripple on a wave, the babble of a mountain stream. I have not gone, for I live on in your heats, a memory, or a smile. Drink a cup of tea, and I will be there. See me in a sunset. Hear me in a song.'
Remembrances to PAWS and Employee Helping Hands of Northwest Hospital and Medical Center.
Neil will always be remembered as The Great Pharaoh Nook-Nack Nellie!
A Celebration Service is planned for September 30, 2012. Please visit Facebook for details: http://tinyurl.com/Neil-RSVP1.
