Please reply also to Tricia Bailey (Tom’s wife) at Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com<mailto:Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com>. The family will share these amazing stories and tribute messages with Marianna. Dawn was having trouble with her e-mail, but discovered that she had left out the Dot between first and last name. Who knew a little Dot could cause such trouble?

Dear Marianna, We hope your time of transition is being marked by joyful remembrances of the kindness you bestowed on so many via social media. May your family, friends, and colleagues recall your sweet and profound thoughts as you prepare to join in body and spirit with the Mystery. That same Mystery that sustains us all even now in these uncertain times. Dear Epitome of Southern Charm, we greet your last days in honor for crossing your path today and back in the days of ''the Institute" full of expanding knowledge and spiritual awakening... Kindfully yours, dawn collins P.S. Sorry, the email address for Tricia was undeliverable... We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first. - 1 John 4:19 .

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 Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com<mailto:Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com>. Tricia’s cell phone is 828-782-0644. Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon. 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. We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey. Marianna, you are loved! Journey on with Grace and Peace, Lynda and John Cock Davidson, NC _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net<mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net> http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
