A Tribute to John Lander from our MD

Dear friends

As a choir family our hearts go out to Lorraine and the family of John. We have lost dear friends from our choir over the years and have greatly missed them from our midst. As I reflect on photographs from past years, sadness is somehow tinged with joy as I recall fond memories of making music and having fun with those who shared that part of their lives with us.

In more recent times John has not enjoyed the best of health but has always supported our choir, together with Lorraine, whenever possible. We will miss his voice, his humour, commitment and generosity of spirit.

Today our chairman Vicky’s partner, Richard, is expecting his operation at Derriford. After much delay, and enduring treatment, we hope that the surgery will go ahead and achieve a successful outcome.

We are so thankful that others of our number have overcome illness and been able to rejoin us making music. Our care for each other demonstrates the fact that we truly are a community choir.

Please keep Lorraine, Vicky and Richard in your thoughts and prayers as they face these challenging times.

God bless,

William
