Dear colleagues, Dad completed his amazing journey August 28th. Wisdom from the Order community accompanied us on that journey. For most of July and August I have been in Virginia helping my sister Diane Galbreath (Guardian, HDP consults and former ICA Board member) to care for our 98-year-old Father in his declining health. Brother Hal Lippard (summer participate at South House and a Delta Pace Consult participation) was with us on weekends. We were honored to be part of his care team as a small pay-back for the years of his caring for us. You may have seen his photo in one of John's blog posts http://rejourney.blogspot.com/2012/07/joes-98th-birthday.html in July as he stirred the plum sauce. And he was so pleased to have been able to celebrate his 98th birthday in July under the spreading walnut trees with four generations of us around him. Dad and Mom (she died at 90 eight years ago) were RS-I grads and found practical ways to participate in our work. Mom always brought her apron and Dad brought his toolbox. They visited Fifth City, our houses in KC and DC, attended Guardian meetings, and visited Canon Ball HDP on a western car trip. They also hosted development teams from the Memphis House, and through their church in Tennessee, raised money for our support while we were in Australia, Indonesia, and India. Because of all this, we included the Ecumenical Institute/ Institute of Cultural Affairs in the memorial requests.

I just read the remarkable obituary of your father, Lynda. (See the link below.) What a giver he was - with his tools and his teaching. Lucky were the young people he worked with! Bet he was a delight to know - liveliness seems to flow from his picture. He sure lived a full life! Maybe slowing down slightly during his 97th year. No wonder you and your sister Diane Galbreath and all your families are so great. I'm awed at hearing all he did - he's sure a role model for me as I try to responsibly create my 77-year-old life. Much love to you as your family and friends CELEBRATE this amazing life.

It is a strange phenomena that one of the more meaningful gatherings of family occur at the time of a funeral of a loved one. Years may pass with several family celebrations but when one dies from our midst we have a different recollection of being. Somehow that passing is a blessing to those left behind as it calls us to, not only remember such a person, but to look at one another and be consumed in awe as we know that we are all so fragile and someday will not be with us. Celebrating your dad's completed life is a reminder that many still surround us whom we love and care for while they are present and we are yet capable of appreciating. Our deepest love to you and John and family. Jim and Alice Baumbach On 9/5/2012 5:02 PM, Lynda Cock wrote:

I don't remember ever meeting him, but we certainly do recall the visit of you and your Mother when we were living in Colquitt. Seems a long time ago! But such a delight!
