Dennis Comments Dear Dennis, Bonnie has decided that she would rather not continue with this existence. The page that makes the brief announcement -- other linked pages have more of the story -- more will be published as it happens. This is rather an advance notice. Loren C. Troescher,

I agree Bonnie will be fine. I think you'll be fine, too -- but I think I'm actually more concerned about you. But you are so aware, such a strong being and still have such a great purpose that my concerns may not be appropriate. But I do want to let you know that if you need anything to please let me know.
Would a short visit tomorrow evening by Erlinda and me be OK? Best, Dennis
Dear Dennis,
You can't imagine how calm we are
now -- both of us.
We have a plan, possibly subject
to change in dates, but not in end result.
There is a period when Bonnie's
job is to confront people who want to say good by, and who may not have the
calm she and I do. It is her job to make those who visit OK with the
leaving. She may not have 100% success, but even there she realizes that it
is not necessary that she take total responsibility for their calmness.
yes, a visit by your and Erlinda
is definitely wanted, and probably tomorrow is fine.
But, the plan is for her to stay
in good enough shape between now and June 30th, to say good by in a way that
leaves others in comfortable shape.
More or less, June 30th would be
the beginning process of dieing, where she would probably no longer want any
visitors. I will certainly be close.
We hope to arrange a "hospice
status" for her, soon, so that the body death can be handled with smooth body
removal and cremation -- the Neptune Society.
The death still will depend on
her, but we figure about a week or less.
So, the Memorial service will be
about a week after that.
I have the place picked out -- not
yet arranged. It is a nice little church in Burbank, and all will be welcome
to come--
She has agreed that I will pass
out TWTH, Bonnie edition, to all who come, would like an "insert" that
promotes the Campaign, and gives the CofCS web site as the reference.
I have lots to do to make that web
ready.
Bonnie and I just spent a very
satisfying hour, at 1 AM, talking over these things -- we have both come
further uptone about the experience, not just the death.
I will be writing it all, soon.
I will do well, as will she!
Worry not, dear friend.
Warm regards,
Karl
