Three years on...

Another anniversary is here: three years ago today Matthew died and went to be with His Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ whose birthday we are celebrating in a few days time.

We still miss Matthew so very much and don't expect this to change. It feels as if part of us has been torn away and it hurts to think that Matthew is not with us anymore.

At the same time we hold on to the certain hope that Jesus will return, and Matthew with Him.

During 2014 we were very pleasantly surprised and encouraged when friends of ours made us aware of a book in which Matthew was quoted! The book is "You Can Pray" by Tim Chester, published by IVP. Matthew is quoted on page 104-105 &174.

Work has begun on Matthew's headstone which will be placed on his grave in Kirby-le-Soken's church yard in 2015.

Thank you to all of you who have sent us messages of encouragement throughout the year and for reminding us that Matthew has not been forgotten.

May you all have a lovely Christmas, celebrating our Saviour's birth.
