Home-calls
Karen Griffin of Burnaby, BC, on May 20, age 68. Karen was born January 17, 1946 in Edmonton, AB, and moved to Vancouver, BC as a child, where she attended Woodland Drive Sunday School. She married Donald Griffin in October, 1970. When their daughter, Shara-Leigh, was invited to the same Sunday School, Karen began to attend meetings again. Through the consistent interest of Doris French, she professed to be saved September 7, 1980, as did her husband shortly thereafter. Both came into fellowship in Woodland Drive (followed later by their daughter and youngest grandson, Andrew) and continued there faithfully. She was active in Nanaimo Road Sunday School for many years, and loved the gospel. Her oldest grandson (Donald) also professes to be saved, but most of the extended family is still without Christ. Please pray for their salvation. Funeral service was taken by Vern Anderson and Ross Smyth.
Mr. Ivan McIntosh of Kingsville, ON, passed into the Lord’s presence on June 23 after a brief battle with cancer, at age 70. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his dear wife of 48 years, Phyllis, his son Stephen (Paula), son Gareth, daughter Vivienne (John), and cherished grandson Kevin. Ivan will be sadly missed by his brothers, Clifford (Windsor, ON), and Colin (N. Ireland), sisters Wanda (N. Ireland) and Beverly (England), large extended family, and many dear friends, as well as the assembly in Leamington, ON. Bruce Cottrill and Bert Snippe shared the funeral services.
