Memorial service for Helen Schaefer

Dear Emmaus Family,

Our dear, departed friend, Helen Shaefer, was a pilgrim on Walk #16. She became a very active and much loved member of the Emmaus family and served on several Walks before she took ill, and finally went home to be with the Lord.

Helen had a heart for people and especially the underdogs. She had the habit of having small plastic packets each containing one weetbix biscuit and some powdered milk, which she would hand out to people begging for food. They just needed to add the water to enjoy a good meal.

A Memorial Service is to be held
at the Westering Methodist Church, Papenkuil Street, Westering,
on Thursday, 10 July, at 12h30.

We pray that many of the Emmaus family who had the joy of knowing, or meeting, Helen, will be able to attend for a final farewell.

P E Emmaus Board.
