    One of the memories was Aubrey and I spending a few days on the ship when Merv and Eleanor were keeping ship in the winters as well as the amazing preserves she made out of their garden.
    We know you are gazing into the loving eyes of Jesus as He says “well done, thou good and faithful servant ”
    You and Mervyn spent many hours caring for the church building and serving many times for different occasions.
    Love to you and all your family Mervyn.
