Dear Marilyn,
What a journey you and Joe have been on. We are with you in spirit as you mourn his passing and celebrate the incredible journey his life was. Before we became part of the Order, we remember several calls from Joe, inviting us to take an assignment here or there--to be part of the adventure of the Order. We didn't do that at the time, but his "call" was part of the continuing tug that eventually moved us in that direction, and, of course, life was never the same after that. We give thanks for Joe's passion and compassion and lift up prayers for you and your family. May the Presence of the Mystery and the legacy of Joe's life be a source of embracing love, peace, comfort, and hope.
Grace and peace, blessings and love ~Carleton and Elliecarletonstock at aol.com elliestock at aol.com

Dear Colleagues on the Long March of Love,
Just a note to say my beloved Joe passed on to the "next chapter" yesterday at 5:41 AM, after a nearly 48-hour, post-stroke journey. Ben, Jon and I were with him for most of that time, and it was a deeply meaning-filled experience of remembering with gratitude. All 4 grandchildren and both daughters-in-law were able to visit early in the process of our “watching, waiting and standing present". The staff at Watson Fields were amazingly loving and supportive during our sojourn, and gathered to witness Joe's “send-out” into the funeral hearse, accompanied by the singing of Amazing Grace.
God gives, and God takes away, and we give thanks.
Grace and Peace,
Marilyn _______________________________________________
