My thoughts are with Sloan and her family. :( Meredith - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Marching with Cadence Winter 2008 - Sad News Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:27:35 -0800 (PST) From: Cadence Carroll Reply-To: cadencecarroll@yahoo.com To: marching-with-cadence@smoe.org To all those in the folk community who I have met along the folky road: It is with the heaviest of hearts that I am writing to let you know George McTavey, my friend and fellow musician Sloan Wainwright's beloved husband, passed away on Saturday night. He fought such a long hard fight with so much grace and determination. In the end, it wasn't the CLL(Leukemia) that killed him but the complications from his transplant. He fought for many months and now he is resting. The battle for my friend Sloan and her sons is just beginning. However, with the help of others, I know with complete certainty she WILL be Ok. One of the biggest hurdles, is that George was the main breadwinner in the family. He supported Sloan so she could create her beautiful music - such a gift. The extended length of his illness has taken its toll financially. I know that with the folk community and her family and friends supporting her we can make a difference. I am writing simply to ask that you send good thoughts and prayers her way as she navigates this new chapter in her life. And, if you are able, support Sloan and her family by attending an upcoming fundraiser or by sending a donation. There is a website set up to facilitate donations and to alert folks to upcoming fundraisers. Please check it out, bookmark it, visit it from time to time. I am also selling beautiful natural wood djembes - all profits go to Sloan and her family. The website is: www.sloanandgeorge.org Please pass on the above info to anyone you think should know or that I may have missed. I will certainly keep you posted on upcoming events and fundraisers. Together we will celebrate George's life and as a community of fellow human beings, help a friend.
