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. 

At this time we have no details of funeral arrangements but through intimations and the Newsy Mail we will keep you informed. 

Continue to pray for Ian’s family and all in our community and circle of friends who face bereavement and loss at this time. 

Sadly, we also have to intimate the death last Sunday, of Mrs Marjorie Stewart, formerly of Lyle Crescent, Bishopton. Marjorie’s funeral will take place at Woodside Crematorium at 12 noon on Thursday 26th February and will be conducted by Rev. Anne Knox. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marjorie’s family and friends, and with all others who are grieving at this time.
