We were saddened to hear of Sandra's passing. Spending her early childhood in Port Lorne, Sandra was one of Judy's playmates. Judy also remembers becoming acquainted with Murray when she spent part of a year attending High School in Windsor. Some years later, those acquaintances were renewed when we accepted a pastoral assignment in Atlantic Canada and became reconnected with Murray and Sandra, who were also engaged in pastoral ministry on the Canada Atlantic District of the Church of the Nazarene.
When we moved to western Canada in 1993 we lost touch, but in recent years, our mutual friends, David and Pat Taylor, have kept us updated on the challenging health issues that Murray and Sandra have faced. We are so thankful that the Taylor's were there to walk alongside Murray, and now, Sandra, as they came to the end of their earthly journey.
If I walk in the pathway of duty,
If I work till the close of the day,
I shall see the great King in His beauty,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
(Refrain)
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day;
And I know there are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
