Sarah’s granddad is being buried today.
Please remember the family in your prayers.

It’s been a real privilege knowing
this man of God.
His deep faith
is something that struck me
when I first met him
some 20 years ago.

I shall always remember
his great sense of humour.
The glint in his eye when
he saw the children.
His love for his family
his wife
his son and daughters
his grandchildren
his great grandchildren
even his ‘grandchildren-inlaw’
His heart was massive
He always had time
Everyone loved him
Because of that he will be missed
He set a great example for us all.

The last few years we have seen
him slow down
but when he was awake
when he was ‘with us’
the eyes still sparkled
the grin appeared
with the God given faith that
was so dear and close to his heart.

I am grateful to God
That I got a chance to meet this man.
I am grateful to God
That my children knew their great grandfather
I am grateful to God
That grandad Brown is now at peace with his creator.
If there was anuthing he wanted more than
to be with his family
it was to meet his creator.

With certainty these words rang out when they met:

Well done my good and faithful servant
