  1. Sue and I offer our deepest sympathy to all of you in Ann’s family. This new sadness is a burden that is heavy to bear for each of you.

    I well remember the happiness of a beautiful wedding when Ann and John made their marriage vows. It is an outcome of my advancing age to be surprised to learn that that joyous day is now twenty-eight years ago.

    I join you in gratitude for the blessings that will always be yours by Ann’s place in your lives as a wife and mother, as a daughter or sister, and as a part of your greater family or her circle of friends.

    The time ahead will not be easy for you. In this season of sorrow, know that there are those who in faith believe that, especially in this time, the living God is present in you to bringing you strength as you need it, day by day.

    ‘May the God of hope fill you with all peace and joy in believing, so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.’ Romans 15:13

    With all pastoral affection,

    Dennis Nelson
