4 comments 1972 2024 mid january 1988 a washington real estate developer with kirk white for his lawyer handed our dad an envelope after they finished talking about something the envelope contained two tickets to super bowl xxii this is my eulogy at my brother s funeral this past saturday dad wasn t exactly sure what to do he had too much work and couldn t travel anytime soon and how could he take just one of us sons and not the other anyway he came home and pulled the envelope out of his jacket pocket and brandished the tickets in front of mom and ben and me presenting them as a kind of problem to be solved the game would occur in san diego california one of the teams was the denver broncos with dan elway as the quarterback the other team had doug williams back in those days the name of that other team began with the letter r anyone see the first lord of the rings movie there s a scene where they re all sitting around trying to figure out who will travel to mordor to cast the ring of power into mount doom there s a lot of fretting about how much trouble it will be then the hobbits pipe up and say we ll take it we ll take the ring there weren t any hobbits in the kitchen on mckinley street but we two high school boys delivered the neighborhood newspapers every morning and therefore had some airplane ticket money in our pockets we ll take the tickets now a good number of people here knew ann white in fact a considerable number of people here knew ann white well enough to live in fear of the woman ben convinced her he convinced her to let us have the tickets and to fly to california by ourselves i did my part in the convincing of course i pledged my entire future that we would both be in our proper classrooms by the first bell the morning after the game we would take the red eye back at mightnight and get to school on time mom trusted me that far but ben is the one who really convinced her to let us do it he convinced the formidable academic dean of edmund burke school to make a decision that would probably get a parent arrested for reckless child endangerment these days as we all know ben white knew how to make his excitement infectious he saw a chance for something great he stretched out his hand he took you along we just heard from st paul about the groaning of creation creation groaning under the weight of apparent futility people suffer people die ben suffered ben died and now we suffer we all know a light in this world has gone out a light of truth seeking love fun and kindness a light so strong it had an intense force an interior force that moved other things by a power of will when he got an idea in his head ben white had a will that could move a mountain sports teams live by the enthusiasm of the fans the yankees will never win more than 80 games in a season ever again the washington football team might as well just hang it up completely you know they even tweeted it out on the official commanders account we lost one of our most passionate indeed you did commanders we all did we have lost one of our most passionate passionately in love with wisdom and truth passionately in love with jacob and rafi please click here to make a donation to the college fund for the boys if you can passionately in love with sara zealous for all his dear friends groaning with eagerness that all the ones he loved would be safe and be happy and thrive he groaned with eagerness that everyone would be safe and be happy and thrive everyone everyone except dan snyder well and maybe everyone except one other person too my brother groaned with eagerness for the happiness and vitality of everyone around him for himself that was more complicated thus we weep here today thus we groan here today we grew up singing hymns in our family you might think to yourself i can t quite picture ben holding a hymnal and belting out divine praises like a choirboy but he did it we did it every sunday of our entire young lives that s what our family did and i still do and if you were at my mother s funeral last fall and paid attention to my brother you saw him do it then he sang out mommy s favorite hymns benjamin white was about as jewish adjacent as you can get but he lived a died a christian man this day has come way too soon but ben did make me promise that when the day of his funeral did come that we would have our mother s favorite hymn a mighty fortress is our god a bulwark never failing our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing for still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe his craft and power are great and armed with cruel hate on earth is not his equal did we in our own strength confide our striving would be losing were not the right man on our side the man of god s own choosing you ask who that may be christ jesus it is he lord sabaoth his name from age to age the same and he must win the battle ______________________ ben has two jewish sons was married to two jewish women at different

29 2023 we will have a reception and program in honor of ann white on thursday october 19 at 6 00 p m at edmund burke school 4101 connecticut ave n w washington d c 20008 we had her funeral here in martinsville va last week mom planned her funeral carefully ahead of time including the hymns readings and speakers my brother and me this was my reading and eulogy in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god he was in the beginning with god all things came to be through him and without him nothing came to be what came to be through him was life and this life was the light of the human race the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it john 1 1 5 the church bells were ringing in a small irish town a mother was banging on her grown son s bedroom door get up for god s sake from his bed the son answered i have two reasons for not going they don t like me and i don t like them the mother replied yes you are going for two reasons it s time for mass and you re the priest in my case i guess i would say the bishop doesn t like me and i don t like him ann white did not particularly like the bishop either but that doesn t mean mom wasn t churchy when the young ann white was in high school she played hymns in church she played hymns in our family home she sang hymns with all her heart her whole life long she also did a lot of teaching she taught high school history for a quarter century at the edmund burke school in washington d c where she taught there s a room named after her called ann s academy students call teachers by their first names at burke a plaque on the wall reads in honor of ann white who taught over 15 000 classes here and opened generations of students minds to worlds of new ideas and perspectives mommy taught my brother ben and me too she started with us she was a demanding teacher in the classroom well known for it imagine what it was like being us what did she teach us all of us students of hers she taught us to sort sentimentality out of our minds and keep careful disciplined thought based on verifiable facts but to do the sorting not with cold severity but with kindness and patience she taught us to keep our eyes and ears open for the small fun and funny things you can find around you if you look for them she always found them like coffee ice cream with chocolate chips at a beach boardwalk ice cream parlor or a pair of green socks with little goldfinches on them ann white laughed so contagiously for so many years because she had systematically flushed all pretense and grandiosity out of her mind and out of her life and that left her surrounded with lovely simple little pleasures like the hydrangea blossoms in the yard what else did she teach us she taught us to ask questions and i don t mean that abstractly like a slogan question orthodoxy confront the power be a free thinker no that s not what i mean when i say that ann white taught her sons and her students to ask questions no she taught us literally to ask questions when you re having a conversation ask questions when you meet people when you see people when you open your mouth ask questions for ann white that s what a conversation was asking another person questions wanting to know what the other person had inside him or herself our mother became just about the most fiercely beloved teacher in the history of edmund burke school because though she did not mind talking and telling the students important facts she far preferred asking them questions and listening to their answers she wanted above all to listen to her students say interesting true things she wanted to hear her students personal understanding of the historical facts that she had taught them which brings us to the gospel passage i just read the word of god became flesh full of grace and truth full of infinite divine love and he walked among us in ancient israel that is the all important fact of history that mommy taught us in our home she never banged on our doors on sunday mornings when the church bells were ringing that is at least not after we became grown men but if we lollygagged in bed on sunday mornings when we were in high school she did pour ice water down our backs going to church was not optional in our family i think she even poured sunday morning ice water on dad a time or two what came to be through the word made flesh life the life that is the light of the human race here s a question for us as we stare at mommy s coffin what does death mean does it mean that we will never see light in the eyes of this pretty woman again this demanding funny hip impatient sweet stylish woman the best history teacher edmund burke school ever had the best friend that i for one could ever hope to have if this coffin and this service and the burial we are about to do if all that meant that her eyes are closed forever i can honestly say that standing here right now would utterly destroy me but in our home she insisted on us learning the gospel the word of life became a wandering rabbi we crucified him he rose again on the third day for ben and me there is silence now where mommy s voice belongs that silence is like the pounding of an enemy s fists into our faces and torsos the silence where the little ping of a text message from her belongs a gut punch like mike tyson said everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face but no death be not proud the empty silence you rain down on us like blows it will not outlast us for my part you re dealing with a dude here who has run eight marathons with a new artificial hip to show for it we will outlast your empty silence death we will endure and we will outlast it with the same faith in the promises of christ that ann white taught us we read in the gospels that there came a time when the disciples stopped asking jesus questions and he stopped asking them questions silence descended upon them as good friday came then the saturday sabbath gaped open empty and utterly silent the teacher was missing but it ended the empty stillness on sunday the hymns began we will see this woman again she will have on a pair of lovely interesting socks undying light will fill the classroom she will speak with us gesturing with her hand like she always did with light back in her loving eyes posted in love letters to you tagged ann
