I'm so sorry. My prayers are with all those family members and church members that need comfort.
May their memory be eternal. I will pray for your community.
What a loss. The church doesn't need *fewer* leaders. May their memory be eternal.
We have several people with ties to the pacific NW. Tonight after vespers we had a Panikhida for Deacon Joseph and Father Gheorghe Calciu.
Memory Eternal.
Oh my! You can be certain our our prayers for them both, their families, and your church. I am so sorry!
Eternal Rest Grant to him, Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen Suzanne
Mimi, I grieve at your church family`s loss.
Memory eternal !
We saw that on the news last night, and thought it must be your church.
We are both so sorry for your community.
Prayers are coming your way.
Susan
I had read this story on another Orthodox list. Most certainly his soul, his family, and your parish are in my poor prayers. Memory eternal!
May they ever be in the shadow of Christ's out-strechted arms. the Church has lost a servant and the world has lost one who served as a mentor to boys. My prayers are with the families and with your church.
So sorry for your loss. That's a tragic accident.
Memory eternal...
and when you think Matushka Elizabeth might be ready for the contact of other young widows (my Deacon Nicholas was only 44), send her my way... :(
Rest eternal grant them, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them. My sympathies to the family and to your parish, Mimi.
Mimi,
How is or is the Ukranian Orthodox Church connected with Russian Orthodox Church? I really do not know alot about this and am interested to learn.
I was reading some things about Russian Orthodox last night and I am always interested in learning new things.
I'd rather as someone who knows how to put it in a simple explanation. Thanks for info.

Memory Eternal!
I am sorry to learn of this loss to Fr Joseph and Alex's family and friends; and to the loss of the Holy Resurrection family.
So sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with their families and with your church.
My condolences to the family and to the parish. You are in my prayers...
I am very sorry to hear of this . . . our prayers for the repose of Fr. Deacon Joseph and for Alex, and our prayers for the comfort of Joseph's son and the other passenger, as well. The shock must be devastating.

I heard about this from Alex R on Friday, and at our church half the sermon was about it, and we sang Memory eternal. This is so awful, and unbelievable, and must be so hard for his family and all of you at the parish. I am hoping to come down on Wednesday night. Praying for them and for you all. Memory eternal!
I was so sad to hear of this... my mom called me because she saw it on the news. Memory Eternal!
Sorry for this tragic loss. I'll ask that his name be read at the proskomedia.
Memory Eternal.
God be with his family and church. Memory eternal.
We prayed for Deacon Joseph and his family in sunday liturgy. God grant him rest and his family and church comfort.
My sympathies dear Mimi. May God grant them rest among the righteous.
The Deacon Joseph Kerns was my Godfather and and a good friend. I will miss him greatly. He was a huge asset to our community - both inside and outside of his parish life. He was a true person, who loved God. Please remember to pray for his family. They will need long-term love and prayers. He was the anchor of his family. May his memory be eternal.
So sorry for your loss and the loss of your church.
Memory Eternal
Memory Eternal.
