[Oe List ...] Anne Slicker's Funeral

[nancy]

Dear Joe, Bill, John, Joann, and all others of the family,
    Bill and I celebrate with you the wonder-filled life of grace and gentle service that Anne lived among us. Her words of encouragement and direction were often just what was needed by those of us who worked with her.  We rejoice to think of her eternal presence with us now, and we send both sympathy and joy to you all.
        Grace and peace, Nan and Bill Grow

  Dear Colleagues:

      Dear,dear, Anne, passed away last Monday afternoon, January 19th at in the Nursing section at our residence in the Edgemere Retirement Home in Dallas, Texas.  The cause was complications due to advanced Parkinson's Disease.  She was surrounded and supported with love by our family throughout her last hours.  A funeral service will be held at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church in Dallas this Saturday, January 24th, 2009, at 1 PM.

      As some of you know Anne had been declining in health for some years now due to Parkinson's Disease.  It has been a long and courageous battle for her particularly these last few months, and it is with sadness and joy that I send this to you.  We mourn her body's death for we were closely interwoven with its spirit's activity. We are joyful for her life lived well and full -- and for all the gifts and blessings she brought to me, our family, friends and colleagues in so many ways -- words cannot express.  And we are engulfed with peace knowing that her release into the light of Being is carrying her divine life on its eternal path.

      Please know that Anne felt close to so many of you, and that our work and service together around the globe meant the gift of her life.
  Grace & Peace in 1Love,
  Joe Slicker
