"Our brother Richard Melvyn Cannon has reached the end of his earthly toils. The brittle thread which bound him to earth has been severed and the liberated spirit has winged its flight to the unknown world. The silver cord is loosed; the golden bowl is broken; the pitcher is broken at the fountain; the wheel is broken at the cistern. The dust has returned to the earth as it was, and the spirit has returned to GOD who gave it." So Mote It Be. |
