Note from the Delegate Chair

Dear SA Family:

With a heavy heart, I’m sharing the sad news of the deaths of Roy K.’s son Howard, Howard’s wife, and their son. Thank you all for your prayers, respect, love, and kind thoughts now and in the future for the family. I visited with Iris, sharing SA’s concern, prayers, and thoughts for her and her family. She expressed her love and appreciation for the fellowship and how we have rallied around her family.

Through the SA fellowship and getting to know Roy, Howard became a personal friend of mine. After Roy’s death, Howard was a champion for our fellowship and for the legacy that Roy left. He was a brother in the recovery family. The passing of Howard and his family members has caused me to reflect on my own mortality—and I was able to feel peace, happiness, and joy. This is due in part to Howard’s ability to share himself with me, as well as his love of life, his personal relationship with God, and his recovery process. I will miss him and the joy he brought me, and the way he taught me to insist on enjoying life and to not take myself too seriously.

May all of us remember the great times we’ve had with Roy and his family; especially those of you who knew them personally. Remember to continue to do the next right thing in your own personal life and journey of lust recovery. And may all of you find peace during this storm.

Thanks again for the comforting thoughts you will continue to give Iris and her family, and for all the service you render to the SA fellowship.

May God bless you,
