God Speed, Dear Vilem
Several days ago, the keeper told us about the death of a man she had come to admire greatly as she came to know him in the last years of his life. he was a giant of mind and spirit and heart. She was sad because she will miss him, she said. But she also remarked that he had poured out every last drop of life over his 90-some years. He brought so much beauty and enthusiasm, and encouragement into the world. It is only right now that he be enfolded into the realms of heavenly music. She was not able to attend his services and the events following because she was giving a retreat from morning to night. But at the retreat she played beautiful music in his honor. Rest in peace, dear Vilem.
