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

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Dear Joe, Bill, Joanne, John,
We stand with you in your sorrow, and we shall be celebrating with you on Saturday.  
There are so many images I have of Anne, but I shall write about only one.  When Doris and I arrived on the West Side Campus in the late Summer of 1964, we soon learned to especially anticipate Daily Office the mornings when Anne was doing the Witness.  She always had a brief newspaper clipping which she would read and then do a profound reflection on the article.  She would plumb the spirit deeps.  It never failed.  Doris and I would be so moved and would ask ourselves, "How does she do that time after time after time?"  It was a wonder, and I am still in awe and wonder when I think of Anne.
Celebrate the great life of Anne, and Grace and Peace be yours,
Charles and Doris

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


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
