Tracy, Yes, we in Chicago learned about it this afternoon. We hope more details will follow. She did get to be at the Accelerate 77 event and mingled with colleagues here at 4750 afterward. She will be missed. Grace & Peace, Jack On Sep 20, 2012, at 4:10 PM, Tracy Longacre wrote:

Carol Pierce passed away a little before noon today of cardio-pulmonary complications. Aimee Hilliard and Mary Laura Jones were with Carol the entire morning. Carol enjoyed the Accelerate 77 event on Saturday and loved keeping in touch with many of you and keeping track of your lives and activities. There will be a Memorial Service at the ICA GreenRise Center building on a weekend in the September or October. I will post the time and date as soon as the family decides the date. Carol will be deeply missed. She was a wise and courageous mentor to many of us. I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her gracious attitude and her demonstration of living a great life in the midst of physical adversity.

Carol was always a good and faithful friend and stood in grace during the difficult transition years of ICA. I can imagine she felt very fragile but you would never know it.

Mid-year 1971, Carol flew from Chicago to KC and came to the Religious House to talk straight to the Cocks and Tolmans, the new priorship team--neither family had any globally assigned priorship experience. In essence she said, "Get this house and region moving. We think you can do it, but it won't be easy. Call us if you get in trouble. Good luck and G&P. Oh, I think the four of you need to hang tight. Make everyone sure that if they've talked to one of you, they've talked to all of you." We sort of saluted and thanked her. We were nervous about our assignment, but eager. We were a good team. It worked out. I reminded her of this when we visited with her at her apartment a year or so ago in Chicago. She did that interesting laugh and said something like, "We probably didn't have anyone else to send to KC." One never had to guess where Carol stood, and where she stood was. more often than not, in exactly the right place. We send you out, dear colleague, to continue the profoundly mysterious journey.

Dear Ones, In the past few years, when I had a question regarding our Order history or our finances, I would call Carol. Her steady, passionate and welcoming voice was there, once again , on the telephone. Thank you, Carol, for being a precious gift in our lives. Your voice wil remain.

Dear colleagues, Carol spent one year here in the Sydney House with Joe, in 1969. We learnt so much from Carol- I remember she smashed a glass on the floor as some of us were leaving to go to the first ITI in Singapore, August '69- dramatically symbolising that we who went- would come home as vastly different and deeply changed- people, and she was right. We thank God for her life and service to humankind. Isobel BIshop. On 21/09/2012, at 8:10 AM, Mary Laura Jones wrote:

Having just seen Carol at Accelerate 77, we are poignantly reminded again that our gatherings and working together as colleagues are precious and not to assume that when we say hello/goodbye there will be another time to catch up and share. We remember Carol--her leadership and the pouring out of her life and creativity in so many ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family as they mourn here passing and celebrate the gift of her life.
