<p class="yiv5862496677MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">At the request of Tom and Tricia Bailey, I’m sending out this note and asking for memories and stories, poetry, songs and prayers of care for Marianna.</span></p>

<p class="yiv5862496677MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">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 at
<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com">Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com</a>. Tricia’s cell phone is 828-782-0644. Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon.

<p class="yiv5862496677MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">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. </span></p>

<p class="yiv5862496677MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey.
