To Georgia's family and friends,
On behalf of Fellowship Community I want to extend our deepest sympathies over the passing of Georgia. It was our privilege to have had a part in her care, and I trust she sensed something of the great love of Christ for her in that care.
I pray God's good comfort in Christ will be yours at this time and that you will find much hope and encouragement in the promise of everlasting life for those whose faith and trust is in the Lord Jesus.
May God's blessing be yours,
Pastor Jake
