[Oe List ...] Memorial for Fred Lanphear

[George Packard]

Thank you Charles and family for expressing the sentiments of the Packard's
as well. We celebrate with all of you in the Northwest the lives of Fred and
all the saints whose deaths are precious in the sight of the Lord (Psalms
116,15).
George and Elise.

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
