[Oe List ...] Memorial for Fred Lanphear

[Al Lingo]

 Dear family of Nancy and Fred,


We remember with you this day Fred's thoughts, words and deeds, now embodied in you, and also in a much larger family tree.

May we recognize in these hours as well, some other families, Carol and Stan, and Dorothea and Jim, and Jean and Mark, and even on beyond, all the other women and men whom we have intimately known who have settled down into the peace of ultimate rest.
 
May those in our greater order family recall and give thanks for their gift of spiritual energies, passed on to us who yet remain.
 
May the reality of God continue to make us vivid witnesses to the qualities of compassion, inclusiveness, understanding, and resolution enacted in their own way before each of us by Fred, by Stan, by Jim, and by Mark. 

May we offer thanksgiving for these fully lived lives and remember their transformed presence within each of us.

May we, like them, journey on together, as the spiritual family that we are becoming.

May Fred be singled out, appreciated and celebrated, today, as yet another great, bright and shining light in the universe.


Respectfully,
Charles Lingo and Family
