The Royal Family announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, “Published 8 September 2022”.  She was the longest living Monarch ever at 70 years and 214 days.

“The following announcement has been issued by Royal Communications: The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.  The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to Long tomorrow”.

Somehow, many feel as if we knew Queen Elizabeth II, even those who live in Jacksonville.  God Bless her legacy for it will live on into Eternity.

“It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’… Despite being displaced and persecuted throughout his short life, Christ’s unchanging message was not one of revenge or violence but simply that we should love one another.” (Queen Elizabeth II, Christmas message, 2015)

See you tomorrow,
