In Loving Memory of Our Dear Friend

Tamara Mendis
(who died in Sri Lanka in the tsunami, Dec. 26, 2004)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea,
though the waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.

“Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.”

(Psalm 46: 1-3, 10 NRSV)
