(not necessarily in that order)
Mary Kretzmann touched an amazing number of souls in the more than four decades that she led Ananda’s Healing Prayer Ministry. The outpouring of love, prayers, tributes, and stories from all around the world has been deeply inspiring.
There was a beautiful service for Mary last night and today I wanted to share this beautiful prayer card that was created by Dinah, a member of Ananda’s Virtual Community.
It’s all been very moving.
Our friend and gurubai, Mary Kretzmann, left her body this afternoon.
Similar to when Krishna passed away, it’s only been in the last few weeks that we understood just how ill Mary was. After being in a care facility and the hospital, she returned to the Village today…only to make her transition shortly after arriving at her home.
There will be many words written about Mary — she led the Ananda Prayer Ministry for many, many years; she was a wonderful mother and grandmother; she had a beautiful voice and a great sense of humor — but for now, all I can say is, “Go with love, dear friend.” 🙏
