[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Living Tributes for Marianna Bailey.

[Joan]

  I never got to work with Marianna so I have asked myself why do I know that I love her so?  But I just know that I do.  Last evening three of us former Order members were talking about Marianna and one of us said that Marianna and Bill met and fell in love when they were 14.  Now I don't know for sure that it was true but I know that it certainly could be and that's enough for me.  Journey On, Marianna.  Joan Knutson

Marianna has been diagnosed with a painful cancer and has entered Hospice at the Deerfield Assisted Living in Asheville, NC.  Please send e-mails that the family will share with her to Tricia and Tom atTricia.bailey813 at gmail.com.  Tricia’s cell phone  is 828-782-0644.   Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon.   John and I were never assigned with the Baileys, except at lots of councils and summer programs, but a special kinship developed because of our common Mountain Heritage.  They were from Mt. Airy, NC, and John’s home was just over the mountain in Galax, VA.    After we both retired from our global travels, we’ve enjoyed a meaningful relationship as NC neighbors again.    Marianna’s gracious southern manner is matched by a fierce resolve to be a powerhouse of care and action in whatever she touches.  That same resolve is seen in her decision to have no more testing or treatments.    She and Bill received a wonderful  formal recognition  by the city of Asheville for their devoted work with Asheville communities and the environment.   I will have to share that article with you later.    We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey.  Marianna, you are loved!  Journey on with Grace and Peace,   Lynda and John CockDavidson, NC         _______________________________________________
