Thanks from Lawrie Craft

To Meree’s friends of Jamberoo, and especially the church family. We thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers during the period of her illness and at her passing into glory. Her memories of Jamberoo were very precious to her, and even though the disease appeared to take every facet of her being from her, we were able to tell her about Jamberoo, the church and her neighbours and friends along with the other special people, events and places that had been important to her. Meree’s faith in her God was firm, established over 5o years ago, and that could not have been take away. Marie is now in heaven with her Saviour, well and sharing i the joys of that place, meeting up with those she so dearly loved, that have gone before her. Lawrie, Kyle, Glenn and Elise together with their families truly appreciate you all so much. God bless, and keep you safe. Lawrie.
