Gerald & Marlene Fagan
Dear Marion:
We were very sorry to learn of John’s passing. John was a dedicated parishioner of Trivitt Anglican Memorial Church and we always admired him for his dedication and loyalty. We were the recipients of his dedication many times when we came to Trivitt to perform with the Gerald Fagan Singers. He always made sure that everything ran smoothly and he never looked for accolades, even though he was always well deserving of praise accorded him.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
Warmest wishes
Gerald & Marlene Fagan

A time of laughter. A time for crying. A time for hugging. A time of graitude for John. No more pain. John is free. Jesus is hugging you as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. What a privilege! Ian & I are holding you up in prayer as you travel this journey together.
