I never actually worked with Jean but I always thought of her as "bubbling" and "light". It is so comforting living through the hard realities of life these days to hear about the care that our community continues to give. It is just lovely to hear how Jean was cared for, Joan Knutson -----Original Message----- From: McGuire, Jann & Fred via Dialogue <dialogue(a)lists.wedgeblade.net> To: dialogue <dialogue(a)lists.wedgeblade.net>; OE <OE(a)lists.wedgeblade.net> Cc: laurelcg <laurelcg(a)aol.com> Sent: Mon, Apr 8, 2019 2:45 pm Subject: Re: [Dialogue] [Oe List ...] Completed life of Jean Long In March I talked to Jean about two 78rpm records I had of Order singing. She said they could be included in the archives so I mailed them to her. Had I known it was the last time we'd talk on this side, perhaps I'd have said what a privilege it was to be her colleague. The reason I'm finding new homes for things like the records is that I don't have that much longer and want to spare my sons the effort of disposing of my many THINGS. Love the thought of the joyous greetings she must have received on the "Farside Banks of Jordan".

Re: [Oe List ...] Jean Long Songbook

Frank, what a lovely gift you have created in memory of Jean. I had hopes that we could have a song fest with her at a rehab center, but that was not to be. She has been the Archive Anchor at 4750 for several years now and her work has been key to the ongoing sojourns. There will be some profound singing at the Archives Sojourn next week as we remember her passionate singing and her passionate care for our community. In keeping with Marsha’s comment about Jean’s decisional poverty, I suggest we add the Poverty song if you have room. The line “in holding to naught, there the secret is found. You are wealth when not by wealth bound” stands out for me. Jean began giving her money away before she left Denver. Her love for RS-I was strong and when she heard that John was experimenting with a more secular version, she wanted us to have a course in Denver so that the people she worked with could have a taste of what had made such a difference in her life. She sponsored that course in Denver and paid for a number of people to be in attendance as part of her “downsizing.” Jean was with us in Fifth City Chicago in the early 80’s and taught at Training, Inc. She later took her Training, Inc. experience to India and taught the New Skills Training School. Her legacy lives in many places. Journey on, dear Jean.

Honoring the Completed Life of Jean Long
by Dawn Collins 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

My chats to the Global Archives by phone with Jean were always uplifting and practical. Of late, she always responded with alacrity to my requests for spirit tools and resources. Her cheerfulness was infectious and often came with a pause for a quick witticism for she had a way with words. I am reminded of Jesus's words to his disciples in John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. May Jean be remembered for upholding the tradition of the responsive ones of the Church and as a welcome and joyful addition to the heavenly choir. Grace and Peace toa Soulful Pilgrim, Dawn CollinsMarian Plaza, Denver We love the Creator/Source because the Source/Creator loved us first.

Jean
by Clare Whitney 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Sent from my iPhone We are full of sorrow and gratitude for the life and death of Jean Long. I have loved Jean since I first met her but can not remember when that was, perhaps in 1973 during our first visit to a summer program. I remember her as being amazingly kind and having a great voice. Many years later she moved to Denver in 1987, after time in India, which she never stopped talking about. She got a job at Denver University School of Law where she made a huge impact with a program she created on Elder Law. It made a huge difference for a lot of seniors who attended. She was a very strong advocate who used everything she ever learned in the Order to excellent purpose. When she retired she took her pension to return to India with colleagues to see what happened since she left and added those stories to her India trove. Her dedication to the Archives filled me with awe and we all owe her an enormous gratitude. We will progress somehow with the work as yet undone and bless her putting the Archives on a working plane. Jean we will miss you more than you can know. Journey on. Clare and Ken Whitney

Oh, how sad. We are sorry to receive this news. Following the email updates, we had been hoping she was getting better. We mourn her passing and give thanks for and celebrate her life. We remember her beautiful singing in decades past and will miss her presence and particularly her leadership with the Archives Team. Thanks to all the colleagues whose presence supported and encouraged her and stood vigil as she transitioned into the unknown Unknown.
