The story of Fred's journey and death is an inspiration to us all. As
Kaze said, that's the way to die.
Rod and I have been telling each other Fred and Nancy stories all
week. Rod first met Fred when he was assigned with Lela Jahn to teach
a Family course in Indiana. I couldn't remember when I first met them.
I just know our paths have crossed in so many meaningful places and
ways.
When we moved to Kansas City, the Lanphears were priors in the Student
House here. Before that, we were with them in Nairobi...on a Panchayat
Trek. The last thing I did before Nancy got me into the Nairobi
Hospital was walk through Kawangare with Fred (that is not what put me
in the hospital...water in Ijede did).
Then after the IERD in Delhi, Rod and I did a trip down through India.
We managed to get a non-English speaking taxi driver to drive us from
Bombay to Chikali. Wonderful time getting to know people and see the
fabulous work the Lanphears were doing. Then all four of us spent some
time in Bombay for a much needed moment of R&R.
Our last, fabulous day with these two wonderful people was halfway
between Seattle and Hood River. Fred and Nancy met us (and our son,
Tim) for a joyous day of lunch, laughing, pictures, and fun. We'll
never forget that time with such beloved colleagues.
We are grateful that our lives were blessed with the lives of Fred and
Nancy. Fred will be sorely missed by all who have cared for him over
this ALS journey. We will be with you in spirit as you walk the ALS
walk in October. And will always have special memories of the spirit
giants in this story.
I'm going to put this on Facebook also as I have two pictures I want
to add...and I don't think they go on this listserve.
Grace and Peace,
Priscilla
