This part of our journey together has come to an end.






We lost her this morning, in the very early hours.
Her son was by her side and she died peacefully,
beautiful until the end and beautiful always.

My heart goes out to you and the rest of your family. Embrace yourself with the knowledge that all of you have gone beyond the call of duty to make her finale years as beautful and peaceful as possible. She knew you were there for her whenever she needed you. These are the things in life that really matter.

I'm sorry for your loss, Adam's loss, the kids' loss, and I'm sorry we will never have the joy again of having Saribenne among us at church.

Please let us know what you need us to do to help you.
