Burial - Mary Elizabeth REED

Her passing is cause for great thankfulness, for none who saw her in her pitiable condition of the last few weeks would have wished her to survive longer in this life. She had had no real savour for it since her husband died. But we shall miss this sweet and gracious soul, so gentle and brave. She is the last of that faithful trio of devoted friends (in MU and Sanctuary Guild) – Rose Sparrow, Eunice Turrill, Mary Reed – to pass from this life. We may be sure that their prayers are strong for us in the communion of saints.
