It is with tremendous sadness that I share with you the passing of Beverley Allison

Dear Friends,

 

It is with tremendous sadness that I share with you the passing of Beverley Allison, executive director of Our Little Roses Foreign Mission Society (OLRFMS). Beverley died in her sleep in her home in Gordonsville, Va., some time late Monday evening/early Tuesday morning.  

Prior to her work with OLRFMS, Beverley worked in the news industry, including for ABC News Bureau in Washington D.C. She began her foreign mission work in the mid-70s, helping to create a new branch of the South American Mission Society (SAMS), where she stayed from 1976 to 1985, working mostly in the southern region of the continent, namely Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. This would eventually lead to her work with me as Bishop of Honduras, establishing the Committee to Assist the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras in the mid-1980s and later OLRFMS, where she has served as executive director since its founding.

We have established a special fund in her honor, the Beverley Allison Memorial Fund, to support the ongoing work and needs of OLRFMS and Our Little Roses Ministry in Honduras.

More information will follow at a later date on how we will honor Beverley and her service and ministry to OLRFMS. In the meantime, I ask you to keep the staff and ministry of OLRFMS in your prayers as we continue our work to support Our Little Roses Ministry in providing a safe, secure and nurturing home for abandoned, abused and at-risk girls in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Blessings,

+ Leo Frade
