    Ms. Tickle was a dynamic speaker and a thoughtful writer. She was a marvelous addition to our family of Episcopalian spiritual writers and will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace among the saints in light.

    A loss to the Episcopal Church but she will live on in others as we have been so inspired with her progressive Christian thinking. Blessed to have learned from her.

    I was so privileged to know her: she was a”cheerleader for my most recent books and for my retreat work in the wider church. Her inspiration and intelligence will certainly live on in those she touched. May she rest in peace and joy.
