Tribute to Elinor Jones 12/6/1944 - 20/6/2010 Scotland
“your
beauty ... should be that of your inner self, the un-fading beauty of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight” 1Peter
3:3-4.
For me this theses verses were personalised in the life of Elinor whom
I count it such a privilege to have known. My life is the richer for
having been befriended by her. Elinor was a lovely Christian who was
able to get along-side people and chat to them on a ‗one to one‘ basis,
qui-etly sharing her faith in the Lord Jesus. She also had a great
sense of humour and it was a pleasure to be in her company. Her poetry
and prose writings have been a source of comfort and blessing to many
and will continue to be so. Along with oth-ers from Scotland, Elinor
attended the recent EBWU conferences in Croatia and Holland. For many
years Elinor suffered from debilitating illness, yet her faith remained
strong and she bore her suffering with grace though at times it was an
effort for her. She is now with her Lord Whom she loved and wrote
about, but her family and friends continue to mourn their loss,
especially Janette her close friend and confidante..
