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

[Shelley Hahn]

Dear Joe, Bill, Joanne, John and families,

I grieve with you; I celebrate with you.  Someone else wrote that Anne was
our grand-aunt.  There is no doubt I feel I have lost a member of my
family.  And in the midst of the sadness I feel joy in knowing that you are
all still out there ... more extended family--my Order sisters, brothers,
aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins.  What a wonderful gift and blessing1
I'm so happy that Anne was part of my family and I part of hers.

I enjoy a monthly skype conversation with three old friends from the Order:
Sharon Rafos, Kristen Cramer and Leslie Forbes.  Tonight i shared with them
the news of Anne's death, and we ended our call by sharing our stories of
Anne.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful wife and mother with us all!

Love,
Shelley
