Memory Eternal! Fr. David Lynch
On Sunday, June 29, our brother Fr. David Lynch, 72, retired from St. Augustine Church of Denver, CO, fell asleep in Christ. Condolences may be sent to Kh. Martha Lynch the Lynch family at mchoban@ameritech.net.
His Grace Bishop BASIL passed on these thoughts from Fr. David's daughter Margaret:
"The long battle for my dear father has come to an end. At 5:30pm this evening, Fr. David (Charles) Lynch, fell asleep in the Lord. He ran the good race and crossed the finish line. He was surrounded by his family and Fr. Pat Reardon who offered prayers for him the whole day and at the moment of his departure. We gave dad our love and told him to tell everyone already departed hello and that we see him again when it's our time. He is now in the Loving Hands of the Lord Whom he has served his whole life. He made us so proud with how hard he fought to come back; we were proud to stand by him as he worked so hard day after day to recover. One thing I know for sure is this didn't happen for lack of prayers, faith, hope or love. Your outpouring of love and concern has been a cushion for us; we couldn't fall completely down during this because we kept hitting this cushion around us. And it was an encouragement to him. Every card, email and message was passed onto him and we heard from a lot of people; that was so good to hear for him to hear from so many people."
