[Oe List ...] Cariol Crow's 30 year journey - on the land!

[Del Morrill via OE]

Dear Nancy,

How we shall miss this special occasion; neither of us is up to it during the day as we have something in the evening – a bit too much for us now. Amazing to think we used to find it easy to get in 2 or 3 things a day in earlier years – no longer, it seems.

Give our love to her and to the rest.  

 

We’ll think of you.

Del and Justin

Subject: [Oe List ...] Cariol Crow's 30 year journey - on the land!

 

Dear Friends, 

There are many transitions that we are making these days as we all grow older, perhaps wiser?  One such journey is being celebrated on Saturday, January 28th, 2017.  

Some of you may know the story of the discovery of the land that was to become the Residential Learning Center and later, Songaia community. One day in 1986, Carol came up the driveway of the property along with a toddler, Jason Coffman. In her report of visiting the land, she announced, "Jason and I have found the PLACE!"

 

Her footprint is very firmly planted on our land.  Her care of community, including the place and its folks has been enormous.  Her many years of contributions and energy to both the community and to Rite of Passage Journeys are evident everywhere.  She will be missed in so many ways.  Her smile and warmth of welcome and the touches of her care are seen everywhere.  She watched over us with a kind and loving heart.

 

Carol's daughters have been encouraging her for several years to move closer to them. So now, 30 years later, she is moving closer to her most of her family located in Seattle and West Seattle.

 

Our community is honoring Carol with a "high tea" on Saturday, January 28th at 4:00 (of course, isn't that tea time?) .  

 

Although words cannot always speak what is in our hearts, we are inviting those of you who might be able to share stories of her years at the RLC, The Woodinville Unitarian Universalist Church (where she and Stan were founding members), and Songaia to send them to us as a way to remind Carol that she is loved.

 

If it is possible for you to join us on Saturday at 4pm, please RSVP.  

 

With love, 

Nancy Lanphear
