Amen!  I regret losing another friend, but glad she is at peace at last.
Seems like the colleagues and friends in this area were always getting
together for memorials only, so Justin and I had picnic a few weeks ago,
inviting all to a beautiful day of sun, friends, good food, and a chance to
enjoy everyone while still healthy and HERE.

Dear Ray,

    Our deepest regrets to you  and to Elaine's boys on her death. Such a
shock for you all!  But what a rich contribution she made to the Order
wherever she was!

    Grace and peace to you and the family,

        Bill and Nan Grow

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.

I received this from Sharon Fisher this morning.  Blessings, Jann

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
