Hi Marion,

I don't often write to this conference because it takes
so long from over here (Munich) but this is just to say
I've enjoyed your entries, and good luck, and if you
ever make it over here...

...peace, John.

    Being also a "contractor" (about 80% of my time the past 13 years)
    I now exactly how you feel...  THE thing I miss (besides colleagues
    of course) everytime I leave DEC is NOTES.  I strongly believe
    it's the most powerfull computer tool ever created.  There is
    no other way to share such an amount of knowledge on such a variety
    of subjects with so many people around the world. 
    
    I wish you all the best for your new venture, and hope
    that you will meet new interesting people so that it
    might somehow compensate a bit for the (temporary ?)
    loss of your noters-friends.

    I too have followed your entries here with interest...
    
    So.....May the road rise to meet you.....and may you be in heaven
    half an hour before the devil knows you're dead!
    
    Good Luck from Ireland.
    
    Tom.
    

    
    
        Well I've enjoyed your entries in ALL the conferences!!!!!
    I had brief contact with you for the Pelham feline problem and I
    know you are a very sweet and caring person.  The best of luck to
    you and I hope life showers you with all the wonderful things there
    are.  I'll miss you too.....

    RE.5 (Tom Armstrong)
    
    Tom,
    
    Do you know the words to the song which starts off like this:
    
    	"May the road rise to meet you, may the wind stay always
         at your back.....
    
    It was always sung as a parting song at a church I attended as a
    child.
    
    Cindy

    Good luck and best wishes in your new endeavors.  We'll miss you.

    	Marion,
    
    	All the best to you.  Which I know is precisely what you'll
    	find.  =8*)

Marion;
These words were sung by Bilbo Baggins as he left Bag End in the Shire.
He had just left his home and belongings to Frodo, including the Ring. He
was 'off again, off on the Road' he had been longing for, for years.

"Good-bye, Gandalf!
    "Good-bye, for the present, Bilbo. Take care of yourself! You are old
enough, and perhaps wise enough."
    "Take care! I don't care. Don't you worry about me! I am as happy now
as I have ever been, and that is saying a great deal. But the time has
come. I am being swept off my feet at last," he added, and then in a low
voice, as if to himself, he sang softly in the dark:

                The Road goes ever on and on
                  Down from the door where it began.
                Now far ahead the Road has gone,
                  And I must follow, if I can,
                Pursuing it with eager feet,
                  Until it joins some larger way
                Where many paths and errands meet.
                  And wither then? I cannot say.

    Good luck with all, Dave.

    Re .7(Cindy)
    
    I think that a friend of mine has a music sheet and words to the
    song......I'll try to get it and mail it to you.
    
    Tom.
    

    
    
    Marion,
    
    May this new journey hold much happiness for you.

	Marion,

	I've very much enjoyed your contributions to DEJAVU.  You've left 
	behind a bit of yourself here in the heart of the notesfile for 
	others to enjoy as they adventure their way through the thousands 
	of replys.  Thanks!

	I wish you the best.  Take care and may you continue to find light
        on your path.

	Terry (from-way-down-south-in-atlanta)

    Marion, this one's for you.

    		A Song of Blessing	Composed and written by: Joe Wise

(Refrain) The Lord let his face shine down upon you,
    		the sun rise up to meet you on your way,
    	  the spirit of His love invade the circle of your friends,
    		your vision keep you changing day by day.
    
	Good times be the jingle in your pocket,
		life's hearth-stone there to warm you when you rise.
	Forgiving and for growing be the way you know your soul;
		the heart be always open to surprise.

	Your life find all its seasons in the hollow of His hand.
		His heart will be the ocean 
		   storing all your footprints in the sand.

	(Refrain) --

	Falling down be only London's bridges,
		Down and out be only words for rhyme.
	A suitcase full of dreams be all that weighs your body down,
		your life pour out like sweet and good red wine.

	And time will tell your story; we will listen once again.
		Your song will have its moment.
		   Leave your sign on the forehead of a friend.

(Refrain) --

	Your rest be peaceful, sleep a fond companion,
    		and wonder mark the roads you need to roam.
	If death should carve a canyon in between us for awhile,
		then sing this song for me 'til I come home.

(Refrain) The Lord let his face shine down upon you,
		the sun rise up to meet you on your way,
	  the spirit of His love invade the circle of your friends,
		your vision keep you changing day by day.
    

    Bill,
    
    That song is wonderful!!!  Who wrote the music?  do
    you know if anyone recorded it?
    
    Thanks, 
    Nanci

    Cancel that last response.  I was so fascinated with the
    words to the song I missed the credit given.  
    
    Also...
    
    Marion,
    
    I'm fairly new to this file but have gone back and read
    a lot of the old notes.  You will truly be missed.  All
    the best to you on your new path.

    The music that goes with the song makes it ever so much better.
    The song is from his album "Take It For Gift: Joe Wise". My wife
    and I used it at our wedding ceremony. The record label is Fontaine
    House and it's distributed by:
    
    Pastoral Arts Associates of No. America
    4744 West Country Gables Drive
    Glendale, AZ  85306
    
    although I think you would be able to pick it up locally if you
    checked around, especially any shops that carry religious music.

    I'm going to print out all of these "goodby" replys on Friday.  
    I expect I'll read thru them more than once.  You guys are wonderful.
    Anybody want to write to me at home?  Keep me up on all the DEJAVU
    news???  Send MAIL and your address, so I can respond back.
    
    Marion

    Marion,
    
    Your energy and spirit have touched me deeply. Thanks for sharing
    yourself with us.
    
    Wishing you exactly what you wish for yourself.....
    
    Love and Light,
    Lois

    Think of me whenever you open a can of anchovies (don't you DARE!
    ;-) ).
    
    Bye.  :-(

    John M. - WHAT?  WHY?  Is it forever?
    
    Please say it's not so.
    
    Cindy

    
    
    I must say goodbye too.  My last day is Friday, and, being a summer
    hire, my time is almost up.
    
    Thanks to all who have responded to my questions.  This is probably
    the most interesting and stimulating notesfile there is.  I have
    learned a lot from many of you.
    
    until next summer (?)

    Though I should not presume to speak  for John, I think he was saying
    goodby to _me_, not y'all.  I tried to take him with me, but they
    wouldn't let me  ;^)!

    PS - I am actually leaving _today_.
