Mom was so well known and had such good connections with professional musicians it will be quite the concert as well. Good for you to help with VBS. That was our theme too this year. This was my first year not to help, but I have been under-the-weather this years. My new dr thinks I have Lupus. I see a new rheumatologist later this month. Hopefully she will have answers.

They were from Carol Walters who was the founder of Training, Inc. that we all loved so dearly. You have been much in our thoughts and prayers as you go about the tasks of creating a very special final celebration of a wonderful life. We are so blessed to have worked together in 5th City RH, Training, Inc. and to be part of Wes’ long and difficult journey. You have amazing parents, which I know you already know. I’m teaching a 4 year old VBS class this week and our theme is God’s heroes. Our team is named for a Biblical hero, David, and the song about David playing his harp has had me thinking of your dear mom. One of my dear aunts suggested to me that instead of concentrating on Mom’s Absence, that I concentrate on her Presence in new ways. That has helped me to bring the joy of special memories in a new way, and I find myself having little “conversations” with her in her new form with me. We send love and care and will look forward to sharing with you virtually on her Celebration Day.

So I'm trying a different route.). I will try to add a picture and see about putting the others on mom's facebook.(Thank you for sending them) I appreciate your nice words about my mom. Dad said that he had a long visit with you and that it was very meaningful and appreciated by him. Thank you for that.

I can’t see if Carol sent this to you all or not, so I’m passing it along to you in case your dad’s computer can’t be opened. I don’t have Julie’s e-mail. Please let me know if you receive this. Our deep care is with you during this sacred time. This note went to some folks that were in the Chicago House with us or worked in Training, Inc. I don’t think the OE list can take photo attachments. It would be wonderful to post some of these on Facebook for others to see.

I could hardly read through my tears to the end of the description of what she suffered. We don’t have any addresses for those you mentioned. Glenda Long moved to Vermont as I remember. Attached are a few pictures of the staff and some of the Training, Inc. DuPage Class Photos from when Bev taught there. Jan Ames passed these photos along to me when the program closed in Oak Brook. They are now in the Imaginal Education Archives. As you can see from the pictures she was always the role model of professionalism and a beloved teacher with her students. She made a difference in the lives she touched throughout her life. Our prayers and loving memories go to her family and friends.

I spoke briefly to Jean Long and also got the names of Sharon Heiges, Christine Harris and Glenda Long who were in the 5th City House with us, but for whom neither Jean nor I have addresses. Bev was part of the teaching staff of Training, Inc. I’m in hopes that some of you will have some of the other addresses. Also please share this with others that I may have left out. John and I spoke to Bill this evening and he informed us of the tragic situation of Bev’s death. A little over a week ago, Bill and Bev were happily celebrating their 62nd anniversary with a friend who had invited them for a little candlelight dinner with steaks. Tragically, a piece of steak caught in Bev’s throat which they were unable to dislodge for a long while with Heimlich method or even with EMT help , but finally did get it out. However, her breathing was affected and she had to be put on a ventilator for several days, yet her breathing was still very labored and fast. On Wed of this past week they were able to take her off the ventilator and she was talkative and giving instructions. She and Bill were able to share the poetry gifts to each other that were to be part of their aborted anniversary dinner, and she was talking about going home the next day to sleep with her anniversary husband. However, she was struggling again to breath at the end of the day. She slept mostly Thurs and Friday when it was determined that although she was getting adequate oxygen, her body had lost its ability to expel the CO2 which was filling her body. The decision was made not to put her back on the ventilator which would not have dealt with that problem anyway, and she died peacefully on Sat. with the family with her. Our hearts ache with this family. Bill asked us to put a note out to the OE list and he will write a bit of reflection a little later. He would greatly welcome hearing from colleagues, either via the OE list or the old fashioned ways. He’s having a bit of struggle with his computer, but said he could most likely get to the OE list. Their mailing address is still 744 S 10th , Salina, KS 67401. Email: wsalmon@cox.net<mailto:wsalmon@cox.net>. Phone: 785-825-1221. Daughters Jana Salmon Lamb and Julie Salmon Gregg are also listed in the Directory. This afternoon the family had a Ritual of Closing with poetry and stories. A community celebration of Beverly’s completed life will be July 6. We celebrate Beverly’s life of service to her family, her community, the world, (I know of Korea and Egypt) and the church. She was a gifted harpist and part of a Pararie Wind Harpist group. Grace and Peace to this dear family, Lynda and John
