Friends,
It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you that one of our own, Sam Collier has lost his battle with cancer and now rests within the hands of our Lord.
For all those that have had the pleasure of knowing Sam, you understand what a great loss this is to us all. Sam was one of the most kind, caring and gracious people that I've had the good fortune to know. He was an inspiration to me and those that knew him and was one of our great treasures. He'll be sorely missed.
Please keep Sam's dearly departed soul, along with his family and friends in your prayers as they move forward during this very difficult time.
As soon as details regarding arrangements become available I'll send them along so please keep an eye out for them.
Sam & his lovely wife Diane
Please join me in a short prayer:
In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brother Sam.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
