class=557261820-25012013>Thank you, Jim and OliveAnn, for passing along this sad
news as another of our dear colleagues steps into The Other World. As i
recall you folks were in Canada for a period of time. Lorne d'Acadia (or
something like that). Were the woodbury's with you then? How long
were you there? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=557261820-25012013>Isn't Ian the young man who was married Kendra
McCleskey? I can't recall the other children's names. Although we
never worked with the Woodberry's closely, I recall meeting them at councils and
summer events. John will acknowledge Mary's passing on the day of her
memorial service (Jan. 26) on his blog. Sometimes the wording of the blog
is appropriate to the passing and sometimes it is just an acknowledgement at the
end of the blog. If Jim has access to the Woodberry's e-mail, perhaps you
could forward the blog to them, or else let us have the address and we'll send
it. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Mary, from Edmonton. Subsequently, we found this obituary and felt that
the order ecumenical would want to be aware. </SPAN></DIV>
