On behalf of my family, my heartfelt thanks to the many who contributed to making the Thanksgiving service for my dear wife Jane, led by Shelley, such a special event. Laura and Lucy, John and Ricki, Sam and I felt this greatly honoured Jane and as she wished, it pointed so clearly to Jesus who she had followed faithfully from the age of 17. The funeral director said that in all of the many funerals she had been in, this showed the most love and faith, and was beautiful to behold. The service was brilliantly streamed, in high resolution, around the world.
Before the event we had overwhelming responses from hundreds of people, many with very full appreciations of how Jane touched their lives, ministered to and with them, and helped so many in so many ways, as the appreciations in the service also showed.
We will bring much of this together in ways which can be shared, along of course with aiming to have Jane’s second book available soon.
We are on a mission to honour Jane: her impact will continue to grow.
Donations can be made to Wheatfields Hospice, Leeds – Jane’s Special Memories Tribute enables family and friends the opportunity to donate online by going to https://jane-coates.muchloved.com/

Love
Phil
