Dear people of God,<\/p>\n
It is with sadness that we share the news that Connie Lyons, Judy Lyons\u2019 mother, died Monday evening. Connie, her late husband Charles, and their daughter Judy have a long involvement in Good Shepherd. Indeed, they have lived around the corner from our church since 1948 and Charles even helped build both our rectory and sanctuary. Charles passed away last September, just days before their 72nd wedding anniversary. Judy, their only child, is and has been a regular at our 8 am Rite 1 service for decades. Connie was 93 years old. <\/p>\n
Arrangements are as follows, and your prayers and presence are requested:<\/p>\n
Friday, May 24<\/strong> Saturday, May 25<\/strong> 11:15 am Immediately following the burial Let us pray: Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of comfort: Deal graciously, we pray, with all those who mourn; that, casting all their care on you, they may know the consolation of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear people of God, It is with sadness that we share the news that Connie Lyons, Judy Lyons\u2019 mother, died Monday evening.
