Bishop Bruce and Char Ough express their deep appreciation for the heartfelt sympathy extended after the recent death of Bishop Ough's mother, Lois Lorraine Ough, of Woodbury, Minnesota, formerly of Williston, North Dakota.  

Dear friends and colleagues,

Thank you for the many cards, emails and texts extending your sympathy to our family on the recent death of Bruce’s mother. She died exactly two weeks shy of her 91st birthday—a long, purposeful, and faithful life. We are grateful she now rests in God’s loving and eternal arms, released from the debilitating dementia that marked her final years. Your many expressions of condolence, support, and prayers have eased our sorrow and reminded us of the ever-present communion of saints—living and deceased—that surround all who follow the risen Christ.
 
Bishop Bruce R. and Char Ough
