In our hearts: Jane Nicholson

We are all still reeling with shock at Jane Nicholson’s sudden and unexpected death.

Jane was one of our Worship team and has been an active part of the St Mark’s family. Finding a strengthening faith, Jane initially looked into the Bishops Commission for Mission but decided that a vocation as a licenced Lay Minister would be the goal. She was so looking forward to the licensing in the cathedral on Saturday 12th and wanted to follow this through to a path of eventual ordination. We, along with the Diocesan Team, clergy who knew her, her colleagues at Waitrose, neighbours, and especially her family and friends – these were the treasures she stored in her heart and whom now feel great loss at her parting. Jane was a good humoured and honest friend and a great advocate for faith as well as a believer in kindness and generosity.  Jane was absolutely on a journey – not just in her life but with her Lord – perhaps with all our journeys there are times when the mystery of God’s love and grace is beyond our ken.

We look then to beyond the horizon of this world to the “peace that passes understanding” and the eternal embrace of God. Our prayers be with Jane’s friends and family, may Jane rest in peace and rise to glory.
