Nancy, that is an amazing poem.

 

Lynda, I know how much you loved your Dad. Now I know a little bit of why. 

 

Many warm thoughts in your season of celebration and grief.

Dear Lynda, John, and family, 

In celebration of the life and death of Joe Lippard, this poem comes with
tears of sadness and gratitude for a life well lived!  My candle is lit
sending loving energy to the family who gathered around supporting Joe's
journey.  May the light of his life be with you always in shared memories.
You are all in my prayers.

With love,

Dear colleagues,  

 

Dad completed his amazing journey August 28th.  

 

 Wisdom from the Order community accompanied us on that journey.  

For most of July and August I have been in Virginia helping my sister Diane
Galbreath (Guardian, HDP consults and former ICA Board member) to care for
our 98-year-old Father in his declining health.  Brother Hal Lippard (summer
participate at South House and a Delta Pace Consult participation) was with
us on weekends.  We were honored to be part of his care team as a small
pay-back for the years of his caring for us. 

 

You may have seen his photo in one of John's blog posts
http://rejourney.blogspot.com/2012/07/joes-98th-birthday.html in July as he
stirred the plum sauce.  And he was so pleased to have been able to
celebrate his 98th birthday in July under the spreading walnut trees with
four generations of us around him.

 

Dad and Mom (she died at 90 eight years ago) were RS-I grads and found
practical ways to participate in our work. Mom always brought her apron and
Dad brought his toolbox.  They visited Fifth City, our houses in KC and DC,
attended  Guardian meetings, and visited Canon Ball HDP on a western car
trip.  They also hosted development teams from the Memphis House, and
through their church in Tennessee, raised money for our support while we
were in Australia, Indonesia, and India. Because of all this, we included
the Ecumenical Institute/ Institute of Cultural Affairs in the memorial
requests. 

 

Thank you for journeying with our extended family,

 

Lynda Lippard Cock
