A week ago, we received that sad news that Rebecca St. James’ maternal grandmother, Jean Francis, had passed away. Lovingly known as ‘Nanna’ to the family, Rebecca describes her as “a shining beacon for Jesus, His love, and goodness”. Over the weekend, Rebecca posted an update on her webs site:

My dear friends..

Thank you SO much for the overwhelming response of sympathy and love that you have shown to me and my family over the last few days. You have truly blessed us with your compassion and prayers. So many of you related to what we are going through right now and it definitely has made us feel united with you.

The funeral was hard, especially as it was my first, but the ‘celebration service’ afterwards was beautiful. She was an amazing woman of God and we were all proud to know her.

Thanks again for your kindness to us and may God be close to you as you walk with Him today..

With love,

Rebecca
