With sorrow but with the joyful hope in resurrection in Christ, we announce the falling asleep in the Lord of our beloved sister in Christ, Vera Smolonogova of Sydney, Australia.
Vera was a dear and faithful sister, beloved by so many, and her departure is a loss to all who knew her.
May the Lord grant rest to her soul in the place where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting.
Memory eternal!
Vera and her husband Nicholas at the Place of Martyrdom of St. Stephen the First MartyrVera at the Tomb of the Righteous Lazarus
