Dear Helen & Family: Whenever we were in London, you and Weldon opened up your home to us and we remember the wonderful times we had fellowshipping with you. The lovely meals you provided and the richness of your hospitality left a deep impression. We thank the Lord that this is not the end but just a transfer to heaven. Our hope is in the Lord and we leave you with Romans 15:13 - "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." We wish we could be at the funeral but because of age we cannot travel there. We are praying that the service will bring glory to our Saviour Jesus Christ. Pastor Jim & Anna
We will always remember Weldon for his warmth, kindness and gentle humour. He was delightful company and could make anyone at ease. He will be sorely missed.
My sincere sympathy to you Helen and to Weldon's family. He was a joy to work with at the Assessment Office . His love and commitment to you and his family and the charities he supported will be missed but his goodness will live in your hearts forever.
Dearest Helen ad Family, Thinking of you and praying for you that God will comfort you . May you find peace knowing that Weldon is with his Saviour.
Helen and family, I am very sorry for your loss. I remember years ago being on the missions committee with Weldon at Knollwood and always loved our chats. Eldon also thought it was cool that someone had a name close to his. Helen, you were also such a dear friend to Aunt Wanda. She enjoyed your visits and also doing puzzles. God hold you all tight during this difficult time.
