IT IS WITH SADNESS BUT WITH HOPE IN THE RESURRECTION that we announce the passing of Astrid Ottey this past Sunday eve, Oct 4th. The funeral service will be held this Saturday, Oct 10 at Zion at 12:00 noon followed by a repass in the fellowship hall.
Please remember Astrid’s husband Bill and their family in your prayers. If you wish to send a card, the family’s address is 68 Maiden Lane, Harvey Cedars, NJ 08008.
