This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Con (aka 'CJ') Power who, far from the country of his birth, died from complications associated with a congenital heart condition. We will remember him forever.
Con is survived by all those whom he touched with his love.
Our heartfelt thanks extend to all those who assisted with his coming home both within himself and from places like Chicago where initially we were strangers. As Con had an amazingly expansive heart embracing people of many cultures and places, his ashes have symbolically been spread in his remembrance at Lake Michigan (Chicago, Illinois), Campfire in the Heart (Alice Springs, Northern Territory), Sale Memorial Cemetery (Victoria) and Our Lady Help of Christians Memorial Garden, East Brunswick (Victoria).
This site is a way of honouring him and his legacy of embracing diversity. It is also a place those who cannot visit where his ashes are scattered can access a site in his remembrance from anywhere in the world. We miss you Con, remember you with heartfelt joy and gratitude while continuing to love and salute you in the "Eternal in the Now".
To all the people of Indigenous descent who touched his life in Mimili, Central Australia and other parts of the Northern Territory with warmth, acceptance and openness: know Con truly valued your worldview. He too applauded the following words by one of his friends Rod Cameron OSA: "I have journeyed through the dark of night to see the Dreaming (i.e. Tjukurrpa or its equivalent) shine in Easter light".
