On Friday 6 November, around 250 folk gathered at Central Offices, Dewsbury, for the funeral of Susan Heaps.
Sue was the dearly loved wife of Graham Heaps, pastor at Dewsbury Evangelical Church from 1973 until last November, when Sue was first diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Mick Lockwood spoke at the graveside, Daniel Grimwade took the main service from John 11 and Graham himself drew attention to Acts 7.55 (the glorious reality awaiting believers), but also Acts 8.2 (the reality of great grief at their departure). This balance of both hope and outrage in the face of death was also prominent in Daniel’s address.
