    MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR REVD. JULIAN THOMPSON

    ST MARY'S, GT MASSINGHAM

     

    We are deeply sorry to announce the death of Revd.Julian.

    After a short illness, he suddenly passed away surounded by his family on Jan 2nd.

    He played such a large part in St Mary's and St Andrew's in the Massinghams

    and was very involved in village life.

    Dear Lord,

    Bless all of us who mourn for Julian with the comfort of your love. That we may face each new day with hope and the certainty that

    nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May our memories be joyful, of days enriched by his friendship, and our lives encircled by his grace.

    The eulogy given by his children at the funeral service can be read here.
