In sad and loving memory of all those passengers of TWA Flight800 who perished on July 17,1996..May each of you rest in peace.

Mother, God has called your name and you have answered him, Lord we send you our dearly beloved Mother, Mary Elizabeth, who lived a long and fruitful life thanks to your blessings, and we hope she is favoured in death as she was in life, comfort her and keep her till the end of days where on that day we shall be together in your coming Kingdom. Amen

Washed up upon the sandy shore the myriad shells at rest at last the mighty sea had flung them there and we two picked our careful way among them to pick out treasures to adorn our homes. Joan, auburn head bent over in deep study, extracted a shell of great beauty from the wet and windswept beach. It shone with iridescent light as she beheld it. When we reached home it was the only one she wished to keep, the rest she gave to me for my work . Just like her.

When she died I took this small perfect shell. I shall always be reminded of Joan's great gift of observation which singled out from the thousands of lesser shells this one perfect loveliness. And in a way I think that God took Joan into his perfect glory - picking this often overlooked, quiet beauty, from his so crowded world.
