For Diane

My Friends,

I have some good news and bad news.

The bad news is that one of our long time members, the main moderator of the Keys list, frequent poster, supporter and friend has died. This person is Diane Linen.

The good news is that she is free of her physical body which was not serving her well and that because of her good heart and willingness to serve she takes with her much good karma which will follow after her. She yet has many glorious ages ahead of her to learn, explore and seek the joys of the spirit.

Robin Kennon who lives nearby informed me of the following:

"Diane will be laid to rest today in Bastrop, Texas at 2 pm. If you think of it, send her out with love and maybe The Song. She'll hear us singing for/to her, I'm sure."

I'm not sure who to contact if you wish to send flowers. If Robin knows perhaps she can inform the list. Or perhaps one person can volunteer to take up collections for flowers and send one nice batch from the Keys.

Diane loved the Song of the 144,000. If you say it and think of her over the next few days I'm sure she she'll pick it up as Robin says.

Diane has been ill since she joined the Keys and lacked the resources to make a long journey to the gatherings. I was glad therefore, that we had a gathering near her in Wimberly, Texas in 2002. Thanks to Larry and Robin's help she was able to attend and was thrilled to do so and meet her friends who she had only known through the written word.

I remember she was particularly thrilled when the group acknowledged her work as a moderator and supporter and she shed tears of joy when Rick have her a plaque to take home.

Diane loved the members of the Keys and they loved her. May we all be as prepared for the next step as she was.
