May the Lord grant him eternal peace.

Greetings   All - Tzaneen 

Just heard this afternoon of the passing of Br. Anthony Furniss in Miguel House. We heard last week end that he was quite weak and then on Tuesday night he went unconscious and passed away so peacefully next day - just as he had wished or indeed planned. 

Br. Anthony had a long and happy mission in St. Brendan's, Dwars River and indeed he always asked about  it  whenever I visited him in the Nursing Home - both of us left there end 2011 See below Death notice from R I P. ie No Brothers expected to travel due to an alarming rise in covid cases all over the country. 

God Bless - Keep Safe .     

Br. Michael Loran
