[Oe List ...] We send you out ...

[John Cock]

Mid-year 1971, Carol flew from Chicago to KC and came to the Religious House
to talk straight to the Cocks and Tolmans, the new priorship team--neither
family had any globally assigned priorship experience. In essence she said,
"Get this house and region moving. We think you can do it, but it won't be
easy. Call us if you get in trouble. Good luck and G&P. Oh, I think the four
of you need to hang tight. Make everyone sure that if they've talked to one
of you, they've talked to all of you." We sort of saluted and thanked her.
We were nervous about our assignment, but eager. We were a good team. It
worked out. 
 
I reminded her of this when we visited with her at her apartment a year or
so ago in Chicago. She did that interesting laugh and said something like,
"We probably didn't have anyone else to send to KC." 
 
One never had to guess where Carol stood, and where she stood was. more
often than not, in exactly the right place. 
 
We send you out, dear colleague, to continue the profoundly mysterious
journey.
 
John (and Lynda)

Carol was one of my early memories at 3444 W. Congress.  So many completed
lives...

Carol Pierce passed away a little before noon today of cardio-pulmonary
complications.  Aimee Hilliard and Mary Laura Jones were with Carol the
entire morning. Carol enjoyed the Accelerate 77 event on Saturday and loved
keeping in touch with many of you and keeping track of your lives and
activities.
 
There will be a Memorial Service at the ICA GreenRise Center building on a
weekend in the September or October.  I will post the time and date as soon
as the family decides the date.
 
Carol will be deeply missed.  She was a wise and courageous mentor to many
of us. I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her gracious attitude and her
demonstration of living a great life in the midst of physical adversity.

Tracy, 

Yes, we in Chicago learned about it this afternoon. We hope more details
will follow. She did get to be at the Accelerate 77 event and mingled with
colleagues here at 4750 afterward. She will be missed.

Grace & Peace,

Jack
