It’s always heartening to feel a connection to a fellow Christian who has passed in God’s name. As a member of Dashwood United Church, Marie is that fellow Christian.
Those who mourn her death are supported by those who care about others in Jesus’ name – joined as an extended family.
So … to all of you who mourn the loss of Marie, one of God’s children, we offer much love.
