Our treasured friend - David James

In my previous blog, I mentioned that our dear friends of many years, David and Diane James from Brecon had joined us for Christmas Day.  They were also loyal supporters of the Charity.

Sadly on New Year's Eve we received news that David who was a former Baptist Pastor has suddenly passed away earlier in the day.  I want to pay tribute to a wonderful friend who would always go the extra mile to help any one.  On Christmas Day he was full of enthusiasm and excitement about his new job and volunteered his services as a driver to Romania.  It was truly a blessed day with lots of laughter with Diane organizing an after dinner quiz.  We also have great memories of them both organizing all the flowers for our wedding.

We give thanks for his life, for the fact that he did not suffer, that he died during such a happy period when he was about to embark on writing his life story but  most of all that he is in heaven.

Please pray for dear Diane, his widow who sustained multiple injuries following a horrendous fall after his death.  We give thanks for their beautiful children, Clive and Deena who have been a tower of strength.
