Our church member and brother in Christ, Harvey Durand, died into everlasting life early on the morning of January 27, 2021. Your prayers accompanied Harvey and comforted our dear sister in Christ, Ginny Durand. Harvey and Ginny celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary in November of 2020. Our congregation has been deeply blessed by their presence among us, and we will continue to surround Ginny and family with our prayers and love.
In recent days, Harvey’s sons Erik and John, and Harvey’s brother and sister-in-law, Stephen and Susan, have spent tender time with Harvey, who is also survived by a daughter, Tammy. Ginny’s son Craig is with her now, and her son and daughter-in-law, Ross and Deborah, will arrive soon to be with Ginny.
When memorial service plans have been made, an announcement will go out to the Mountain Shadows congregation. Meanwhile, words of condolence and friendship may be sent to Ginny at her address in the church directory. May we all take comfort in the words and promises of Jesus:
There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. (John 14:2-3, NLT)
Yours in the eternal love of God,
Pastor Rachel
