Desperately sad news

We heard today (Monday 25th October) that a body has been found in the Coverhead area, above Kettlewell.  While not yet identified, it is believed to be that of David, husband of Churchwarden Joan McCartney.

The discovery brings to a close a week of desperate hoping, fearing longing and praying.

We join our thanks with those already expressed to the hundreds of people who have spent all week searching this difficult ground.  And we join our prayers to all those that are being offered up to Joan, her family and all who are supporting her.
