[Oe List ...] Elaine Richmond

[E B]

This is very sad news indeed. I remember her fondly. She was one warm welcoming face when we were newly arrived at Kemper.
May she rest in peace and the family be comforted with much love and memories she left behind.

Sad news to share. Could you post 
this on ICA/OE networks, Jann? I received this from Ray this 
morning.
 
Life is short. Be quick to love. 
Make haste to be kind!
 
Blessings,
Sharon

To my family and colleagues in 
Australia and the United States of America.

 

Elaine and I set off from home to 
our Church at West End in Brisbane last Sunday afternoon and before we had gone 
2 of 30 miles, I changed course for the local emergency hospital. Elaine was 
admitted and examined and within 45 minutes was in an ambulance headed for the 
Intensive Care Unit at Mater Hospital in Brisbane at 90 kph.  My daughter 
Sandra and I kept vigil by her side, talking with her on occasions between nurse 
and doctor attentions, and on Monday and Tuesday we sang her favourite song "The 
Rose". Elaine died at 9:30pm Tuesday 21st September following a mostly conscious 
journey with pain management attended by her magnificent doctor specialists 
and nurses and the faith of a saint in adversity.

 

I have now returned home to an empty 
house and I know I will need help and seek it.  Sandra, Karen and some 
friends and I are planning a funeral/memorial probably for next Wednesday 
one week from today at the West End Uniting Church and intend to send her urn of 
ashes to her brother Raymond Goff in St. Paul MIN for a later placement with her 
parents graveyard in Cable Wisconsin. This was her wish.

 

I am blessed with wonderful family 
and friends and 33 years of companionship with Elaine; a woman of extraordinary 
accomplishments and the best Christian Theologian and servant in the Way of 
Jesus I have ever encountered.  A professional teacher and practitioner of 
Facilitation.

 

Raymond & Arlis, would you 
distribute this to our family in the USA please, for I have incomplete 
addresses. Thank you. Pam, Mal, Geoff, would you 
distribute this to others in Oz as you see fit. Thank you. Sharon 
Fisher, would you distribute as you see fit in the Pacific Northwest. Thank 
you.

 

Please ask for details of 
funeral/memorial date at richmonder at iinet.net.au or phone 
(07)3488-2300 if you are able to attend.

 

Ray Richmond. Cleveland, 
QLD
