Dear Colleagues, At the request of Tom and Tricia Bailey, I’m sending out this note and asking for memories and stories, poetry, songs and prayers of care for Marianna. Marianna has been diagnosed with a painful cancer and has entered Hospice at the Deerfield Assisted Living in Asheville, NC. Please send e-mails that the family will share with her to Tricia and Tom at Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com<mailto:Tricia.bailey813@gmail.com>. Tricia’s cell phone is 828-782-0644. Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon. John and I were never assigned with the Baileys, except at lots of councils and summer programs, but a special kinship developed because of our common Mountain Heritage. They were from Mt. Airy, NC, and John’s home was just over the mountain in Galax, VA. After we both retired from our global travels, we’ve enjoyed a meaningful relationship as NC neighbors again. Marianna’s gracious southern manner is matched by a fierce resolve to be a powerhouse of care and action in whatever she touches. That same resolve is seen in her decision to have no more testing or treatments. She and Bill received a wonderful formal recognition by the city of Asheville for their devoted work with Asheville communities and the environment. I will have to share that article with you later. We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey. Marianna, you are loved! Journey on with Grace and Peace, Lynda and John Cock Davidson, NC
Dear Marianna, We hope your time of transition is being marked by joyful remembrances of the kindness you bestowed on so many via social media. May your family, friends, and colleagues recall your sweet and profound thoughts as you prepare to join in body and spirit with the Mystery. That same Mystery that sustains us all even now in these uncertain times. Dear Epitome of Southern Charm, we greet your last days in honor for crossing your path today and back in the days of ''the Institute" full of expanding knowledge and spiritual awakening... Kindfully yours, dawn collins We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first.- 1 John 4:19 .

Dear Marianna and Trish We send our thoughts and prayers across the ocean from Australia. You and Bill were the first EI/OE folk we ever stayed with - in the Los Angeles House in December 1969 – our first wedding anniversary – on our way to the Academy in Chicago. Thankyou for the journey that began a couple of years earlier in Sydney, and continues today with spirit colleagues across the world – the crimson line! Thankyou for being one of those great spirit women. Grace and Peace, John and Robyn Hutchinson.

Bill and Marianna were always high among my role models for demonstrating elements of a missional marriage. Three details in this regard always stood out for me — one had to do with shared purpose and values. Without it, they told me, it ain’t gonna happen. The other two were reinforcements of each other. First: as Bill looked at Marianna with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes, I vividly recall him saying “there always has to be a genuine ‘SPARK!” …. and due to theirs, they decided to elope! Much thanks, Marianna, for the inspiration you’ve been. Terry

I never got to work with Marianna so I have asked myself why do I know that I love her so? But I just know that I do. Last evening three of us former Order members were talking about Marianna and one of us said that Marianna and Bill met and fell in love when they were 14. Now I don't know for sure that it was true but I know that it certainly could be and that's enough for me. Journey On, Marianna.

Dear Marianna, I believe that you and Bill were the only ones ever assigned to New Zealand! I remember joining your team from Australia, for a short period when we facilitated some community meetings in communities on the East Coast close to Havelock North. Your cheerful disposition, kindness,and care meant a lot to me as we worked together in an area of Aotearoa I'd never visited before. John and I send our love and prayers as you travel this chapter of your spirit journey.

Suzanne and I left Oklahoma before you and Bill came but we returned in 1985. You had spearheaded the Oklahoma 100 Campaign, the pilot for turning every county Gold. Plus, it was a model for the Global Town Meeting that had a significant impact on the places we were assigned. One never knows the ultimate impact or the success of what we do but I must say that the list of sponsors in Oklahoma for that Campaign showed an amazing power and interconnectedness of the entire State at that time. Everywhere I have gone in Oklahoma since 1985, I encounter someone who knows, remembers, and asks about the Baileys. So, you’ve been gone from Oklahoma for many years but your labor and care still underlies the harsh façade of what is now considered a very red state. We are grateful to you for what you have done here and “here” is only one place among many. Peace be with you and Bill, and Tom, Lyn, and Nan. We think of you often.
