Friends, I just got off the phone with Sue Stadler, Anne’s daughter. Anne died peacefully yesterday afternoon, October 28 surrounded by her family. From Sue’s comments, it was clear Anne created the space for the kind of death she wanted: filled with love, tears, and laughter. I’ll continue to act as a contact to share messages from the family. To be, as Sue put it…"part of the communication network as we let people know about plans for gathering, sharing stories, and honoring what Anne has learned with us all in the innumerable webs of love and learning that have made up her 92 year long life." In the meantime, please continue to post your thoughts in this Google Doc. The family will look at what we have all created as they are able. I suggest posting new messages on the opening pages, just below the picture of Anne. I have moved the messages written before she passed to a section below. As an experiment, here is a discussion group for anyone who wishes to connect with others who loved Anne. You can subscribe by sending an email to [email protected]. Perhaps we shall meet there as part of the Radiant Network. If you wish to communication directly with Anne’s family, you can send an email to her daughter, Sue Stadler - [email protected] and/or her son, Aaron Stadler - [email protected]. They’ll share messages with their siblings. That said, please don’t expect a response. They have a lot going on!! In terms of a memorial, when they know what they are going to do, I’ll pass on the message. If you have thoughts or offers for a memorial, contact Sue. They’ll likely do something outside so it may be a while before there is something in-person. As we celebrate the life of one of the most remarkable people I have ever known, whom I deeply loved, I leave you with this thought: We are weaving ourselves as a radiant network with Anne's thread integral in connecting so many of us. Much love to you all, Peggy P.S. The link to the mantra for transition I sent in an earlier message went to the wrong site. Here is the proper link: https://youtu.be/OV9LXGOXjgs?feature=shared P.P.S. Below is a poem someone gave me when my mother passed. It keeps coming up for me as I think about Anne. I hope you find some comfort in it. I do.
You can love me most |
