[Dialogue] A confluence of Twins! Did I remember them all??

[Len Hockley]

Thanks Lynda,

WENDY HOCKLEY'S TRAVAIL

The Hockley Family was interning at the time she took sick in Aug. of 
'66 and living in an out building on Trumbal.  It was a un-operative 
brain tumor.  She was treated on (for free!) at St. Luke's.

It was an up and down battle.  Being in community was everything. We 
were able to travel by train to celebrate Christmas with family in MI, 
but before the end it was very difficult for her to communicate her needs.

In Feb on Shrove Tues we took Elaine and the Jets to the train for a 
trip to Marti Gras.  When we returned, Elaine's mother who was caring 
for Wendy during the trip informed us that Wendy had called out and 
succumbed to death.

The community acted swiftly and decisively.  Elaine was taken off the 
train at midpoint and arrived home by bus late aft.  That evening Wendy 
was laid on our bed on the second floor with her black beret hanging on 
the bed post while the Order processed up the stairs and around the bed.

The next few days was a bee hive of activity;

a group to create a liturgy where the double cross on the readose was 
used for the first time, you may remember Joe Pierce used the symbols in 
an ei news letter at about that time.

a group to plan the memorial event.  I was ingeniously assigned to the 
pit as Bill Grow's assistant to create and print the invitation to go to 
our entire mailing list.

It was quite an event.  There were people from as far as Cincinnati OH 
and Port Huron MI that came for the day.  The ceremony started in room A 
and marched across the open path to the Gym to the heavy beat of a huge 
bass drum.  It's all I remember (symbol is key) except that Slicker read 
the New Testament and Joe gave the eulogy.

Our care as a family was not neglected.  We were given time out for a 
week of renewal as a "new" family which we used to stay at an Indiana 
winter resort.

Praise God,
Len
