Dear Brethren All,
Since my last letter there has been a number of deaths reported of our brethren, all of whom are special to me but there are three that I wish to record because of their prominence in the Province. V. W. Bro. Dr. Roger Jago, P.G.M.O., P. A.Prov. G.M., and Past Grand Superintendent Royal Arch. V. W. Bro. Peter James, P.G.J.O. and a past Provincial Secretary, W. Bro. Patrick Burridge, P.G. St. B., and Past Deputy Provincial Secretary, a post he stood down from due to his failing health, All of these brethren have served this province with distinction and dedication, their families are in our thoughts and prayers.
There are many events in life which can lead to the development of anguish, stress and depression. It may occur through a difficult life event like a bereavement or redundancy, relationship problems, upsetting or traumatic experiences which may be recent of have occurred some time ago or just a feeling of low self-esteem, sadness or anger. It is not unusual to have these feelings, they are common, and the good thing is that help is always available, and that help can make a real difference.
