A sad note from a fellow labourer in the Russian art vineyard…

In Memoriam Raba Bozhiya Natalia

Yesterday, a good friend of my wife, who was also the mom of a friend of my son, died. She was a good person. Please, if you will, remember the Handmaiden of God Natalia in your prayers.

Editor’s Note:

I have used much art from the site of Mr Astakhov on this site. I feel like a friend. Please, do heed Mr Astakhov’s request, remember the Handmaiden of God Natalia in your prayers, and request a Pannikhida for the repose of her soul.

Vechnaya Pamyat, Raba Bozhiya Natalia! Andryushka, your loss is my loss as well. I embrace you in sympathy.
