Dear Crocker Family, Joe was our Area Prior when Linda and I were the Philadelphia House Priors. Was a massive move to do Town Meetings and Joe was great at getting the most from the troop when all were needed on the front lines. He made my life so much easier.

A great life lived.

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
