Tributes

Special memories of Les and Iris who welcomed me into their home in 1972. It was a time during which special memories were made and gratitude remains in my heart for their Godly influence. Deepest sympathy to John, Mark and their families. Coral

Lovely to hear of Les's impact here on earth by listening to the livestream. Especially great to have the service made available. Lots of love at this time to the family and friends of Les, and especially to John Freeman and Nita Port. Thanks for your caring and kindness over the years.
