Hi all,

Many of you already know - Nasu drowned Sat morning while bodysurfing at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Below is the latest update from Phoenix (his girlfriend) on memorial info. Feel free to contact me directly for any additonal info. I will post here once plans are more certain.

~M~

I know that many of you are waiting for info on
memorials, etc. I will tell you what I know.

I know that his body is to be released in the next 24
hours and then he will go to a mortuary. A few of us
will see him one last time. I think this is going to
be only me and his parents. There will be no formal
showing if I can help it. His body will then be set
aflame and that's that.

Any memorial services that will be held will be at our
house in Outer Sunset (or on the beach nearby). I
know that he would prefer to have everything low key.
I have no dates yet planned, but I'm sure there will
be a few.

So if you are traveling this way, know that there are
many places for you to stay. Please come whenever, as
there are people traveling in from out of town as late
as next month. Even though there is no "formal
service" I would love for people to come out.

Please pass this letter on to other lists and to
Nasu's friends not on this list. I have only posted
here.

If anyone knows of, or can help me find a reputable
mortuary in San Francisco (that's a little less
christian) I really need to find one by tonight.
Please help if you can. That is one of the main
things I need right now.

I am so thankful of your support. Without it I don't
know what condition I'd be in. At least now I can
focus on breathing and trying to walk.

love and light,

phoenix
