[Oe List ...] Elaine's Completed Life

[marilyncrocker at juno.com]

Dear Ray,
 
Joe and I are deeply thankful that the global connections --  from you in
Queensland, Australia to Sharon in Seattle, WA, to Jann in Linsay, CA, 
to the OE colleague list serve -- have allowed us to join with you and so
many others in experiencing the shock at learning about Elaine's sudden
passing; then the decades-rich flood of memories of our lives with hers
and yours; and after the deep sense of loss and grief, in time, the
affirmation of her whole, full completed before the Mystery, as a promise
of our own at our time of ending.

We treasure our earliest times with you and Malina in Singapore at the
1969 ITI, and then in the Sydney House in 1970-71.  We treasure our later
times, as well with Elaine and Dick in Chicago, long after we knew you in
Australia.

Then what a wonderful mission you and Elaine launched and carried forth
in Australia.  All of us who spent time in your wonderful homeland give
thanks for that opportunity, and are grateful for those of you who have
carried on being the church, on behalf of the innocent suffering, the
marginalized, and the forgotten ones.

We hold you very close, in our hearts (with great thanks) and certainly
in our prayers for your peace and solace.

With love and respect,

Marilyn and Joe
