From the Email Bag March 8th, 2007 posted by kendall at 10:20 pm It is impossible to convey fully the depth of gratitude I have for all the emails, prayers and other communications of support I have received today. I especially wish to thank Susan Russell for her blog post which was also posted on the Integrity listserv. Susan, that was very classy and very appreciated.
If we do not all interact with each other, in the midst of all the church is journeying through at present, as other human beings who go through common struggles and challenges, then we are missing the boat. I mostly rejoice that God is able to do far more abundantly than all than we can ask or imagine and that his grace is so evident in times of weakness and loss like these–KSH.
——————————————————— Kendall,
I just read of your mother’s death. Prayers ascend for the soul of your mother, and you and for your family. The loss of a parent is never easy. After my father’s death, a friend told me of how he had felt when his father died — “I felt like my windshield was gone.” That statement really resonated with me. May your mother rest in peace and rise in glory. And may God grant you comfort and surround you with love and care in this season of grief.
——————————————————————- I lost my Mom a year ago last month. I still miss her, of course. There are certain things that happen that I would normally have called her to share them. Some few kinds of experiences seem like they can’t be shared with anyone else…or more precisely, as if the sharing of them is unsatisfactory, as if only she would really, really appreciate that particular story.
Kendall, you’re in my prayers. It takes a while. Life seems a bit disoriented.

Elves will be helping out with posting March 8th, 2007 posted by admin at 7:04 pm We elves join with hundreds of Titusonenine readers in expressing our condolences to Kendall and his family and offering our prayers following the death of Kendall’s mother, Mary Ann, early this morning.
With Kendall’s encouragement, we’ll be posting a few news stories and items of interest while he is offline. Feel free to send us links or ideas for blog entries to T19elves@yahoo.com.
Note: We will be keeping this post up top to explain why the elves are posting, and so that the link to the news about Kendall’s mom will also be up at the top of the blog. Look for new posts below. Thanks. As always, anything posted by us will be listed as “posted by Admin.” Anything noted as “posted by Kendall” is indeed posted by Kendall.
Kendall Harmon's mother Mary Ann died this morning after a battle with cancer. Please keep Canon Harmon and his family in your prayers as they grieve their loss. And let us remember that the ties that bind us to one another and to the God who created us in love transcend not only the pain of death but the politics of the church.
Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant Mary Ann with thy saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.
Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. I met Kendall at a speaking engagement at a local ECUSA church. He impressed me as an extremely thoughtful, kind, and godly man. I believe his attitude, as well as his intellect have been of great benefit to the Church throughout this very tough time.
May God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost give supernatural comfort for him and his family in this time of shock and loss.
