November 17, 1973 - July 10, 1995

In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in the middle of a dark wood where the straight way was lost.
~ Dante Alighieri

Your spirit is mingled with mine. What touches you touches me.
~ Rumi

It isn’t for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for the long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Commitment
Now, into the keeping of God, I put
All doings of today,
All disappointments,
hindrances,
forgotten things,
negligences,
All gladness and beauty,
love,
delight,
achievement,
All that people have done for me,
All that I have done for them,
my work and my prayers.
And I commit all the people whom I love
to his shepherding,
to his healing and restoring,
to his calling and making,
Through Jesus Christ our lord.
