[Oe List ...] Celebrating the completed life of Bill Bailey

[Isobel Bishop via OE]

Dear colleagues,
I remember with much affection the way Bill smiled and often seemed to have a wink in his eyes.
As an Australian with our own rather hard accent, I found Bill's gentle drawl  very reassuring- it always seemed to be unhurried - I remember the calm presence both Marianna and Bill always gave me when I was in a meeting with them.
In peace and love sent over to Marianna and her family.

And the journey continues, but how I wish you two could see how the dream looks today! We celebrate the completed life of our beloved Bill. He was tall, but he stood 10 feet higher! What a man, what a Prior and what an authentic spirit! We will miss him, and are the blessed ones to have served this world with him (and you!!) at our side. I send my prayers for comfort to you and the whole family. Blessings to you and may the Peace of God be in your heart.
