Many thanks for passing on the news of Lilian's last few hours on this earth.

Johnson, you have been wonderful the way you have updated this email group from all over the world, so regularly and in a way that our prayers could be fresh, focused and an expression of our fellowship (I'm sure as a homiletician you will like my attempted alliteration!)

Joined together in this way has been an incredible experience for me and this is one of the things Lilian will be remembered for: the way she connected so many people from different parts of the world.

Thanks everyone for your fellowship through prayer. Perhaps through her death and our memories of her, Lilian will continue to inspire us with faith, courage and a sense of holy adventure despite the setbacks that we face.

Johnson, please continue to update us on the plans that are put into place for the way that her family and her church will be celebrating Lilian's life. Somehow through this email group it would be nice to share in this time of tribute and thanksgiving.

We have already had your wonderful tribute Johnson. If Tony Cupit has got the text of the chapter about Lilian in his book on a word document it would be great for that to be shared via this means to aid us in our celebration and thanksgiving.

Do let us know where we can send our words of trubute and sympathy to the family.

Blessings

Geoff Pound
