[Oe List ...] Completed Life of Meg Tippett

Sat Nov 19 08:51:44 PST 2022

We were with the Tippett family in our early Cleveland years.  Our families
joined the Order and entered the Cleveland Religious House in the fall of
1970.  Meg and I were the same age so we were together through children's
structures quite a bit.  I'll never forget the day I heard about her
accident...I was so sorry for the news.   I have great respect for the
tremendous care her family has provided over her lifetime.

Here are a couple of pictures of Meg and other of us kids from the
Cleveland House on our way to the summer Camp in Bay St. Louis outside New
Orleans.  One is the 3 Rafos girls, Linda Becker, Mark and Kristen Cramer
and Meg and Kit Tippett leaning on the Rafos van.  The other is the front
stoop of the house  where I see Martha and Dick, Judy Tippett, the Beckers,
Sandy Rafos and maybe the Wygants (sp?).

This is the bright, sparky Meg that I remember.  Rest in Peace Dear One.
