<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, This was a poem read at Jean Long’s memorial service that I think you all will appreciate for the meaning it shares with Jean’s life and for all of us, and that those of us who were present will want to rehearse again.
It was read by Jean’s sister-in-law Glenda Long Eggerling from Ames, IA, who along with her late husband Stan Long (Jean’s brother) journeyed with our community for about a decade including time at Faith and Life Community and recruiting Jean to join this
journey. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Glenda recently wrote : “I <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">
never want to lose those years in the ICA. In some ways, that decade in which I was with the EI/ICA represent Ithaka in my life.”
