[Dialogue] Marking the Anniversary of Sandra's Death

[Ann Shafer]

Dear Bob, We were at Westside and South side (I believe) when you all were
at North side (1970s). We is Ann and David Stewart and daughters, Tabitha
and Catherine. I remember all the stories then and through the years of you
and Sandra. It was such a gift to us all to have a doctor among us and in
our projects and to consult with, and besides who was so missional and
creative and fun. 

 

After my husband, David, died in November of 2000, we celebrated his life
again in November of 2001. Having a year distance made it a time when we
really could celebrate, the veil of tears wasn't so thick then. I don't know
the name of it but there is a Jewish custom to celebrate a deceased loved
ones life one year after the death. I celebrated with Jewish friends once
and I thought that was a really good idea. 

 

May your joy exceed your sorrow. Peace, Ann Shafer

Dear Colleagues,

Next Tuesday January 24, 2012, Mark. Lynn and I will gather with friends for
a meal to mark the anniversary of Sandra's death. We will borrow from the
old House Church format. 

I request and welcome any "Sandra stories" that you may wish to share to
include in our celebratory meal. 

It is difficult to comprehend that a year has passed. As I struggle through
the wound of loss, I am daily reminded of deep gratitude for Sandra and the
journey we shared. In particular she and I both carry an abiding gratitude
to the Mystery for bringing us to this wonderful community that you all are
- Present, Past, and Future.

Grace and Peace,
Bob True
