Like many of our friends and family, we are reeling. Jemily has died aged 35. She was amazing - a godly woman, a great wife and devoted mother. A good friend.
Jemily came to Camberley from Woking, straight from school to do a volunteer year at the church I was leading. She was so good I asked her to stay on and join the staff. She lead an action-packed Kids Club with Ivane, regularly having 90 children. But there was more to Jemily - she was an organiser. A very good organiser. I asked her to become the church administrator. It was one of the best decisions of my life. She was brilliant and helped grow a thriving church. She was beautiful, warm, loving, conscientious, reliable, able, with a good heart and sense of humour. Jem was a gem.
Around this time, a young man called Tim Brown arrived at the church, also from Woking. I asked him what he was doing. He replied: "I want to lead worship and to find a wife!". He did and he did. Tim Brown married Jemily. He is an outstanding worship leader and they have a beautiful daughter Mayana, aged 10.
We are all feeling very sad and have questions no-one can answer. But Tim courageously wrote, just hours after the death of his wife:
"God is good and Jem's death does not change that. He is a magnificent and faithful father".
