[Oe List ...] Kay Townley - A Beautiful Passing

[Evelyn Philbrook]

Dear Family Members, Close Friends and Spirit Colleagues,

What a marvelous,  spirited, and  yet  genteel  lady....she  made a lasting impression on  any who met her, and  may be  in our  meditative councils through eternity.  

Journey on, Journey on...
only song, poetry and prayers come to me and I am sad because I know she will be missed by many.

LIght and Love, 
Grace and Peace...

To Mary Warren, and all the ICA folk,
    We light a candle this evening for Kay, and by its light remember all 
the fun and serious times we had together in the Kemper building and in 
Denver.  All the family is remembered in our prayers and good wishes for 
peace.
    Grace and peace,
        Nan and Bill Grow
