The Buundid in the Magic Grove
A Fable for All Ages

At the "Magic Grove" sculpture by Nancy Metz White
Enderis Park Playfield
W Locust St & N 72nd St
Milwaukee, WI 53210

Sunday, June 23, 2019, NOON

Psst! Advance word has it those who camp out at the Magic Grove at the appointed time will be rewarded with a rare sighting of the Buundid, a delightfulthough some say mythicalcreature. Curiously, the Buundid has never been seen in the same location as Michele Beaulieux, who trained as a mime with Milwaukee's Friends Mime Theater. Fortunately, accomplished Milwaukee musician Jahmés Finlayson will be on hand to communicate with the Buundid through his extensive collection of world instruments. And Jacqueline White, the identical twin of Michele Beaulieux and daughter of the late Magic Grove sculptor Nancy Metz White, will narrate the Buundid's adventures.

Rejoice, print on paper, Nancy Metz White

To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

Dearest Mic and Jacqueline,
God works in mysterious ways. I hope out moms are having fun at the heavenly banquet. (I hope the line is not too long!) I am so sorry for your loss. You both worked so hard on picking up where your dad left off taking care of your mom and getting her comfortably settled in each of many transitions since your dad's passing. And yes, I learned alot about planting and replanting flowers at your parent;s lovely home. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you. Love you. Victoria and Dennis M
