[Oe List ...] FW: Shirley Snelling

[Lynda Cock via OE]

I hit ³Send² as the telephone rang.  Meant to add how much I appreciated
hearing your voice yesterday and knowing that you also had been through this
process gave me new courage.
How we do need to be reminded of those things from time to time, when the
³Woe is me¹s² tend to accumulate.

I thought you might want to pass this and other messages that I sent you on
to Clair.  I know that the Shanklands are on the  OE list and I thought
David Dunn was also, though I haven¹t heard his ³voice² in some time.  Let
me know if you need further help.  I just thought it good that all info come
from Denver.

Dear Everyone,
Shirley was my model for embracing all types of situations, from the most
stark to the luxurious!  Her expertise with curriculum spread widely, and as
a current member of the Reformed Church in America was used by our
denomination as well.
Our prayers for one and all as we celebrate her wondrously completed life,
Ellen and Dick Howie
