Maurice ATKINSON Obituary

Dear Miriam and family.
Our deepest sympathy goes to you at this time of Maurice's passing.
Maurice has completed his work here and gone on to his eternal home with his Saviour.
May the Lord Jesus be your strength as you live the days ahead.
Although we haven't had contact since the late 1970's and 80's I have many happy memories.
We are thinking of you and send our love.
The Gardner family.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Maurice as a kind, gentle, and godly man. He gave us outstanding support when Gero died.

Miriam and family, we are just so saddened at the passing of Maurice. We are thinking of you and praying for you in this difficult time. Our lives are deeply and forever changed for the better because of the amazing ministry you two were called to, and were faithful to follow God in. We will really miss his cheeky personality and the way he was a humble spiritual father to so many. We love you guys.

We were very saddened to hear of Maurice's sudden death. Unfortunately we are unable to come to his funeral due to ill-health. Maurice was such a vibrant lovely man who will be sadly missed.

Our heartfelt condolences to Miriam and family. How we appreciated your visits to Gleniti Baptist Church in Timaru. We still talk about those meetings and the light and love you brought to us. Well done, good and faithful servants, ( including you, Miriam) ,your work will remain for a long time. Blessings, comfort and shalom.

So sad to hear this news, a mighty warrior gone too soon. A man of great stature and immense faith. Our deepest sympathy and love to Miriam and family. Love from Ian and Diane King, WSB, Timaru
