Dear friends of St. Stephens,

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of May Sowards, Mark’s mom this afternoon following a prolonged illness.  She had Mark and Nick with her and passed peacefully.  Please keep Mark and Nick in your prayers for comfort in their grief.  Mark and I will let you know when her funeral will take place in the coming days. 

Depart, O Christian soul, out of this world;
In the Name of God the Father Almighty who created you;
In the Name of Jesus Christ who redeemed you;
In the Name of the Holy Spirit who sanctifies you.
May your rest be this day in peace,
and your dwelling place in the Paradise of God.

 

Peace,

Rev. Allison Cornell
