My FIL, Vladimir, died in the night. Although not a believer, he had been baptized and accepted unction and communion yesterday. Born in the middle of the Stalinist Terror, his father killed in a weapons explosion in 1939 when he was very small, he grew up fatherless and became a great father and grandfather. Over the past 29 years, I have come to love him as a father. Now I have to navigate the Russian funeral system. Prayers appreciated!
