The Weekly Epistle
It was with considerable sadness that many of us learned that Maybury Fraser died peacefully in her sleep during Wednesday night-Thursday morning. Although, having been at St Martin's a relatively short time, I have many fond memories of Maybury. The last time I saw her was in Hallworth House during her recent convalescence following a short stint in RI Hospital for heart issues. To my surprise she agreed to let me bring her Holy Communion.
