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

[Sharry Lachman]

Dear Joe, Joanne, John and Bill and Family,

Wesley and I celebrate with you dear Anne's completed life, and the  
strength and courage she brought to so many of us.

We met together for RS-1 pedagogy on Saturdays in the basement under  
the old Great Hall/gymnasium on the West Side. I don't remember who  
taught the class or who else was in it, but I remember Anne for her  
quiet, discerning way and her shyness about standing before the group  
back in those days. Sometimes Anne missed class because she said she  
needed to work on finances, but some of us were sure she was secretly  
glad not to be there, as we wished we didn't have to be there.  
Learning to stand and speak in front of a group when you'd never done  
that before and then be criticized for it when you sat down was worse  
than hard for some of us. So when she did stand or speak from the  
side of the table, we knew that much thought and effort went into it,  
and she was heard. She spoke as she lived, with great wisdom and  
compassion.

Our hearts go out to you as you celebrate and mourn and share in the  
wonder of this amazing wife, mom, grandma and spirit woman of our time.

Grace, peace, love and hugs to you,
Sharry and Wesley

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
