This morning, we had the funeral for one of our parishioners, Pat Downes. I have known him and his wife for oodles of years and have always had a great respect for them both. It was sad to see him go, especially as they were just getting ready to celebrate their 50th anniversary soon.
It’s just a reminder that none of us are here forever and that none of us know when or how we will go. Hence, we need to live each day in readiness and preparation.
Rest in peace, Pat.
