To Andrew, Terry, Tony, Christina, Wendy and your families too...
"Only time and tears take away grief, that is what they are for." - Terry Pratchett
I'm thinking of you all and trusting you will find someone close to comfort you as you mourn the loss of Alma.
Alma always reminded me of 'the Queen' of our times in demeanor and temperament - caring, watchful, looking to improve the world and wanting the best for, and from, her family. Not one to suffer fools or foolishness patiently!
Remember to cut yoursekves some slack while you grieve, be gentle with yourselves and one another.
It's sorry I am to be on the other side of the world at this time and unable to be with you to celebrate Alma's life.
Sent with much love to you all from what feels like a far distant shore here in London.

Our deepest heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Alma Sullivan was beyond smile and cheer to accompany Reverend Andrew Sullivan when he served at the St. John Church in Ipoh. We were so impressed by their peaceful composure and could feel the same presence after more than 40 years.

We pray for the repose of her beautiful soul. Our deepest sympathy accompanies family members at this time of grief and sharing our utmost love and understanding of a beautiful soul gone to be with the Lord Almighty.

Always Loving VBD ERIC
From The Victor Benjamin Family.
