    Hippiemom passed away Saturday, December 8. We will hold a memorial service for her in Cleveland at the Church of the Covenant, where she was married. She requested a certain song to be played at the service, one I'm sure you all know, I have put the lyrics at the bottom of this post. If you'd like to give this a listen for her, I'm sure she'd appreciate it. She liked the Tribute to Heroes version best.

    She asked a long time ago that no flowers be sent and suggested that instead people give donations to charitable causes she supported, such as the Memphis Three:

    Anyone who knows of other causes of which she was supportive, please let me know.

    Again, thanks to all of you for being there for her all this time; you have been a source of strength and solace for her over the past few years.





    And I wished for so long. Cannot stay.
    All the precious moments. Cannot stay.
    It's not like wings have fallen. Cannot stay.
    But still something's missing. I cannot say.

    Holding hands are daughters and sons.
    And their faiths are falling down, down, down, down.
    I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.

    Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay.
    There's no need to say goodbye.

    All the friends and family.
    All the memories going round, round, round, round.
    I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.

    And the wind keeps roaring. And the sky keeps turning grey.
    And the sun is set. The sun will rise another day.

    I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.
    I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today.

    Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
    Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
    Will I walk the long road?
    Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
    Will I walk the long road? We all walk the long road.
    Will I walk the long road?

    Bouse,

    I am so sorry to hear this. Your mom was a beautifull and amazing woman. I'm sure I can speak for all of us here when I say she touched our lives and made us all better people because of it. We where all blessed to have known her if only for a brief time. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to you and the rest of your family.

    I'm so sorry for your loss Bouse. I never met your mother personally, but she really seemed an amazing woman from what I could read on this board.

    She'll be forever missed and, yes, the sky has one more star.

    We all walk the long road

    Much love from Argentina

    I'm really very sorry for your loss.

    Honestly, I never had a lot of "one-on-one" conversations with her, but I can't tell you how many times her words on this board have stayed with me, inspired me and taught me something. I know she really understood what was important in life.

    Sending lots of love to your whole family.
