Please reply also to Tricia Bailey (Tom’s wife) at
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? Gratefully, Lynda

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.

Dear Colleagues,
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.
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. 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
