Funeral intimations
It is with great sadness that we intimate the sudden death of Mr Ian Morrison, one of our Church Officers, Elders and faithful member of Bishopton Parish Church.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kathleen his wife, son Colin, daughter Jennifer and son-in-law Iain at this time of bereavement, we also pray and remember other family including the church family, as we all grieve and try to come to terms with this sudden loss.
