[Oe List ...] Death of Chris Holcombe

[Jim & OliveAnn Slotta via OE]

Dear George and Wanda:

We want to add our tribute to the many already received from other  
members of the Order Ecumenical. Our family grieves with yours at the  
loss of your son, Christopher. We witnessed that Chris and our  
daughter Lizann were loving partners for nearly eight years, including  
the last four as they struggled mightily with his cancer. Our  
grandchildren will sorely miss the presence of their joyful "Uncle  
Chris" at family gatherings; and the planet has lost a talented,  
learned, wise, and gentle soul.

Peace,

Jim and OliveAnn Slotta
