Message from Mairi Catherine (Principal Iver Martin’s daughter)
Dear Friends in Stornoway Free Church,
I would like to sincerely thank you for all the support and kindness which was shown to me and my children after the sudden passing of my husband, Erick, while we were on holiday in Scotland.
We returned to Peru on Feb 17th, accompanied by my mum, who will stay with us for a month while we try and settle back into a routine.
While nothing can ease the pain of our loss, the prayerful support and immense kindness which we have received from many friends, including yourselves, have been both a comfort and encouragement which we will never forget and for which we thank the Lord.
With all our love,
Mairi Catherine, Ruth and Rebekah.
