A Message to St. Mark's
From Deborah and Mark Halling, son and daugther of Bill Halling, a previous vicar here at St Mark's.
We'd like to say a very belated but heartfelt thank you to people who sent lovely, thoughtful messages and prayed prayers around the time of our Mum, Ro's, short illness and death last spring.
We have many happy memories from our time in Barrow and we know Mum really enjoyed catching up with friends from St Mark's when she paid what turned out to be her last visit in autumn 2018.
We massively appreciated being able to share messages from some of you with Mum in her final days and your kindness to us after she died. Thank you.
Church Anniversary and Gift Day
