SAD AND JOYFUL NEWS
We are sad to report that, after some months of indifferent health, Sheena Young (nee Keith), who, with husband Mike, was one of the co-authors of this site, succumbed to pneumonia and died peacefully, with her four children at her bedside, early on Thursday 19 March. She would have been 90 on April 8.
The close family, with the Minister, gathered at West Herts Crematorium on April 2, with at least a hundred relatives and friends joining in online, to celebrate her life, her achievements and her character. Truly a lot to be joyful about.
We would like everyone to have the chance to read her life story and to have the opportunity to watch a video of the funeral. This website is, of course, open to the world, so if you want to mention Sheena to others in your circle, please feel free.
Charity Donations
You may like to know that we will be making a donation to the local Citizens Advice branch, who are much in need at the present time. Also to the RSPB, reflecting Sheena’s interest in wildlife preservation.
If you wished to do something along the same lines, in Sheena’s honour, we would be very pleased.”
