Please pray for the soul of Peter, my dear cousin who died in tragic circumstances.
He was in his beloved garden, watering his flowers and shrubs with a hose.
His wife thought he had been rather longer than usual, and she went out to see if he was all right.
Imagine her shock horror when she found him lying face down in the lily pond. No amount of resuscitation could revive him, as a post mortem revealed that he'd had a massive heart attack.
Whether he died from drowning, or whether he was dead before hitting the water, I just don't know, but it is so grievous for his wife and all the extended family, that all the details seem meaningless.
His funeral has taken place, and was attended by three hundred people,all of whom wanted to pay their respects and share in the grief at the loss of such a lovely man.
Any further prayers would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
