[Magdalen] RIP Fr. Kyrill

[cady soukup]

Oh Jay,

To have come so far in a difficult time, to have your priest and
pastor “called home” as it were. May you and your worship community,
and Fr. Kyrill’s wife, mother, and family be comforted in your grief,
and inspired by his memory to gather together to keep moving into the
next steps of your shared lives.

There have been too many unexpected deaths this year. So hard.

virtual hugs - love - hope - prayers - cady
