Thanksgiving for the life of Malcolm

God is gracious and loving in all circumstances.  For many years Malcolm, my former husband and I maintained a special bond of friendship.   Sadly in  March 2009 his health deteriorated resulting in frequent hospitalisation.  On New Year's Eve he lost his fight against the illness and will be greatly missed by all the family and his many friends.

Despite the sadness and great loss we are giving thanks for his life and all he brought to us during his 64 years.  He has left us a wonderful legacy of memories filled with love.  I personally give thanks for the many happy years that we shared, for our beautiful children, Caroline, Neil and Wayne and their wonderful partners, for our little treasure of a grandson, Morgan, for our own bond of friendship and for the devoted way that our children cared for him during his illness.

What an assurance we have knowing that he is now enjoying eternal life with his Lord and Saviour, having asked Jesus into his heart in March.
