"Shocked"
December
30, 2013
Normally
I would start out my prayer letters with enthusiastic greetings and possibly a
joke or two. Somehow that seems
inappropriate now. I have just received
news from my family today that my Mother had a heart attack last night and
passed away. Her funeral is being
planned for this weekend. I’m currently
on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa but I have arranged to fly back home to
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I will be
arriving in Edmonton late on New Years Day.
I’m not sure how long I will be staying in Canada but I imagine I’ll be
around for at least a month. I’ll contact
you all when I know more.
Sorry
to share such sad news during a time normally reserved for hope and joy. However, the reality is I can have hope and
joy knowing that my Mother is now at peace with the Lord. The news has been shocking, but I am glad
that I have the Lord to lean on as well as all of you. Please keep myself and my family in your
prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Graham
