[Oe List ...] Joe Crocker's Passing

[balmkevin at gmail.com]

Dear Marilyn, Ben, Jon and families,

The extended Balm family sends you all our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Joe. Out thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. I have very fond memories of the Crockers in Maliwada, including the trickle of a creek/canal that came to be called Crockers Creek.

 

In sympathy,

Kevin

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
