Passing of Helen Channen, Rev. Sue Channen's mother
Dear NetNews subscribers;
I am saddened to share with you that the Reverend Sue Channen's mother, Helen Channen, died in Kingston, Ontario, on October 20th at the age of 92. Her funeral will be held on Monday, October 25th at 2 p.m. EDT at St. George's Cathedral, Kingston, with the Reverend Gerald Moore officiating.
Please pray for Reverend Sue and her family now and in the days ahead as they gather to remember, to give thanks, and to grieve. May they be surrounded and sustained by God's deep love and compassion.
Rest eternal grant unto Helen, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Every blessing,
+Sandra
