Wilma Bronkey has passed on...

Dear Sai Family:

Many of you may already know that our beloved 92 year old Dr. Wilma Louise Bronkey has gone home to be with Swami. She was, as was her wish, at home at Enchanted Acres with Ivan on Thursday morning, October 7, 2010 when she passed on to Him.

We would like to invite you to attend a memorial service on Saturday, November 20 at 2 PM at Enchanted Acres to be followed by a potluck. Please let us know if you will be able to attend by contacting me at 541-386-8355 or galearnold@aol.com. (FYI, we also intend to go ahead with plans for the 2011 Sai Family Reunion during the Fourth of July in her honor and will be sending more information later).

A small group of close friends gathered with Ivan on this last Saturday night for beautiful bhajans, wonderful food, and we also shared stories that filled us with gratitude and laughter about her full and wonderful life.

If you would like to call or send a card to Ivan, he is at 1151 Summit Loop Road, Grants Pass, OR 97527. The phone at Enchanted Acres is: 541-479-9066, his cell phone is 541-291-6063.

Swami once said to Wilma that she was a “near and dear” devotee. All of us who have shared a portion of her life are filled with gratitude for her inspirational life of selfless service, her wisdom and insight, and most of all the unconditional love and healing light that radiated from every ounce of her form to each of us.

We would like to begin collecting your personal Wilma stories for her service so that many voices can be heard, even those who cannot make the trip and travel to join us. So, please send me your favorites! And, please feel free to forward this email on to others who may not have heard.

We send you much love in remembrance of our beloved Mother Wilma,
