A Dear Friend Has Left Us...

 

Men's Breakfast will never be quite the same. This dear man, Glen Grover, sat in the pew behind me, with this wife Joan -- when she wasn't at the organ. He was always there to lend a hand, unfailingly cheerful, with an open face, smiling eyes. He will be missed by all whose lives were touched by him -- even a wee bit. RIP, Glen.

I need to inform you that a much-loved and long-time member of St. Cyprian's, Glen Grover, died suddenly yesterday afternoon [September 8].

Please keep Joan in your prayers.

God of grace and glory, we thank your for Glen, who was so near and dear to us. We thank you for the friendship he gave and for the strength of witness he showed. We pray that nothing good in his life will be lost, but will be upheld by those who knew him to the benefit of others.

Grant, O Lord, to all who are bereaved the spirit of faith and courage, that they may have strength to meet the days to come with steadfastness and patience; not sorrowing as those without hope, but in thankful remembrance of your great goodness, and in the joyful expectation of resurrected life with those they love. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

The Rev. Robert Sears, Incumbent
