Last Sunday I lost a dear friend to Cancer. She had Cancer on two separate occasions, only difference was unlike the first time where she beat the disease, the second time she wasn’t so lucky and died on Sunday 4th June 2023.

She along with her sister, like me were brought up in The Salvation Army. She was still a member of a Corps (as the Army calls it) when she was ‘Promoted to Glory’ which is another Army term.

The Celebration of her life is to be held tomorrow in that Church.

Yesterday the Corps band played ‘Gaudian of my Soul’ as a tribute to this person as that was one of her many favourite pieces
