It is with great sadness I inform you of the death of Mr. Tom Jeffrey, a long-time parishioner of the Cathedral Parish who passed away earlier this morning following a prolonged battle with cancer.  He was able to receive the Last Rites, with family gathered around him.

Tom is survived by his beloved wife Suzanne.  Together, Tom and Suzanne have been the faces of welcome and hospitality for the Cathedral for many years, serving as Sunday and special event ushers, assisting with Parish Coffee and Donuts, and lending helping hands at most parish events and gatherings. Prior to devoting herself to caring for Tom during his illness, Suzanne was also a member of the Health Ministry, the Welcoming and Hospitality Committee, the Prayer Shawl Ministry, and was a founding member and coordinator of the Ladies of the Cathedral.

As soon as the details for Tom's funeral are known, I will pass them on to you.

I ask that you please pray for the repose of his soul and for his family that mourns his loss.
