[Oe List ...] Condolences

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Dear Amelia,
 
May you know the love that surrounds us,
in life and in death,
in unity and in separation.
 
My husband Fred died January 31 after a long illness and wearying  decline.  
Still, I was not ready to let him go.  And though Dick went  as he wanted, I'm 
sure your own feelings are very complex.  The great  mystery surrounds us in 
every moment, but we are especially aware of it in these  moments of 
transition.
 
I'll miss Dick's postings on the OE list serve.  We were  in the 
Order:Ecumenical from 1970-1975, and I deeply  value the electronic continuation of the 
community that did so much for my  spiritual development.  
 
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you make this change that is so  
profound on every level of life.
 
Grace, peace, blessings,
Jann McGuire
Lindsay, CA

I just received this email from Amelia  Kroeger.  Her email address is:

Dick Kroeger died yesterday afternoon. Official time 5:01  p.m.
 
 
He was hunting with a hunting buddy, James Young, in Windom,  MN. James 
administered CPR as the medical units were called by his young son,  Cody. 
Everything was tried in the field and ambulance. The doctor at the  hospital in Windom 
pronounced him dead after nearly a half hour  of continuing the effort to 
revive him.  I have requested an  autopsy.
 
James Young's girl friend drove me to Windom (2 1/2  hours). I stayed with 
Dick's body for some time and then drove home with  the girls (two of our bird 
dogs) arriving here about 1:30 a.m. this  morning.
 
Dick frequently told me that he would prefer to die in  the field hunting 
with his dogs. He was  blessed.
