 November 21, 2009 We mourn the unexpected passing of Nadine Drew, the wife of Les Drew, Pastor Emeritus of Crescent Heights Baptist in Calgary, on Saturday, November 21, 2009. Nadine and Les were collecting their bags at the Toronto airport when Nadine fell backwards and hit her head. Despite the efforts of neurosurgeons, she was so badly injured that she was unable to breathe on her own and was declared brain dead. Before she was taken off life support, Les and the family agreed that her organs could be donated to save the lives of others. We give thanks that Jesus caught her in His arms as she fell and know that she is now with Him. Please pray for Les, their daughter Sarah and son Steven as they work through the shock of Nadine’s sudden death and experience the pain of losing their wife and mother. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 28th at 11 am at Crescent Heights Baptist Church. All are invited to attend. |
