MRS ELIZABETH LUNDY, widow of
Bishop Robert F. Lundy, has written a letter to her friends in
Singapore expressing her deep appreciation for their love and
concern since her husband's death last January (see Obituary in
Methodist Message, March 2003, page 15).
In her letter from her Waynesville
home in North Carolina, the US, she wrote: "I have been overwhelmed
by the messages through letters, email, cards and telephone calls
which have come from you.
"All of you have shown in so many ways your love and appreciation
for Bob.
"He felt like a brother among you. His time with you was
very meaningful for him. He always prayed for the Church in Malaysia
and Singapore, and kept informed about news concerning the Church
and the country."
Mrs Lundy sent her letter, accompanying another to Bishop Dr
Robert Solomon, and requested him to share her feelings with her
"Dear Singapore Friends" through Methodist Message.
She wrote: "Our lives have been enriched by the years
spent with the people of that area. Our children grew up in your
country - our daughter was born in Kuala Lumpur.

and the United States!"
Mrs Lundy and her husband had
been married for 59 years in June of last year, and she said he
was a caring and loving husband and father, and grandfather.
"We are so grateful for his
life with us - and for our time with you," she concluded.
