Dearest Marilyn,

May you be surrounded with love as you experience the loss of Joe. Know that you, Ben, Jonathan and their families are being held in the hearts of so many during this time of transition.

In gratitude for Joe.

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
