        Condolences Message of His Grace Iov, Bishop of Kashira, Administrator of the Patriarchal parishes in Canada on the departure of the beloved parishioner of Saint Barbara’s Cathedral Lily Ann Voss /nee/ Lopushinsky.

                                      Dear Brothers and sisters!

With sincere sorrow we have heard about the death of the beloved parishioner of our Church of Saint Barbara – always joyful Lily Ann Voss. She departed for the better eternal world after a short and incurable  illness.

Our merciful Lord, Jesus Christ, granted her the blessing to die as a good Christian: after having Confession and receiving Holy Communion.

We express our sincere, heartfelt condolences to her family, and, especially, to her children, her brothers and sisters, as well as to our church choir and sisterhood, of which both she was a member, and to all, who knew her well…

She was an active parishioner, and devoted many years of her life to serving with dedication the Christian Orthodox Church in our Cathedral of St. Barbara.

Let us pray God, Our Lord, that He grants rest and His Heavenly Kingdom to the soul of His faithful servant Lily Ann Voss!

Let us offer our prayers about this to our Savior today together!   May her Memory be eternal! Amen.
