In Memory of Donna Merry
1947 - 2022
We were shocked to receive news that Pete & Donna Merry were involved in a serious car accident in Monterrey, Mexico on Saturday 10th December. Very sadly Donna did not survive the crash. At the time of writing Pete is stable in hospital but has suffered a small brain bleed injury. We grieve the loss of Donna and pray for Pete's full recovery, for the peace of God for him & their family. Read more here.
