[Oe List ...] Fred's completed life

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Fred's great smile, great sense of humor, great face: they live in my  
heart. Can you imagine the stories flowing among the many gathering to  meet 
him? The laughs? The b.s.?
 
The gathering  home  is growing rapidly for our generation. The  
preciousness the memories of our time together is growing also.
 
Blessings,
Jann McGuire

Way back  in 1965 Fred Buss and Don Warren opened a window in my mind that 
let in the  possibility of theological thinking. I've never been the same 
since. I'm sure  that is true for many minds around the globe. All the 
influence he continued  to play in my life and my thinking are too numerous to 
write down. Some people  are so important in many people's life journey that it 
is hard to imagine them  gone. I hope he and Rodney are sharing stories...if 
they aren't then there is  something wrong with heaven.
Grace and peace to all,
Priscilla  Wilson
