Dear Marilyn, Ben and Jon,
Joe and I were assigned to Development as a team working on grants. He quickly became someone I deeply respected. We raised some new sources of money and built a solid team. These are the times when I wish we could all celebrate Joe's life together in the Great Hall with glorious singing of "For All the Saints".
We are very sorry for your loss and grateful for Joe's many leadership contributions to the Order: Ecumenical.
Journey On, Journey On,
Mary Laura and Ken

Dear Jack and Louise,
So heartbreaking to hear about dear Joe's passing away...we always remember his big booming voice, warm smiles and keen intellect.
We feel fortunate that we were together in Maliwada and learned so much from his experience and wisdom.
May the Lord give Marilyn and the family peace that passes all understanding.
Thanks for sharing this news with us .
Love n regards.

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
