A sad time...



We were shocked and very sad when our friend Anne died suddenly aged 46. She went to bed with a headache and died as a result of an aneurysm. Her adored and adoring husband and 2 sons aged 17 and 21 have been incredibly brave.
Anne was a head teacher and so the story was all over the papers in Glasgow, particularly because she donated her organs.
The church in Glasgow and wider Scotland will miss her terribly for her hard work, commitment and good sense.
I went to Glasgow for the funeral which was a great tribute to her but was a very sad occasion. As the coffin was taken out after the service Kathy, the organist, played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata which was Anne's favourite piece of music. I don't know if I will ever be able to listen to it again without sobbing.

Anne was special and we will miss her lots.

"Now if we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him."
Romans 6v8
