Milt Wyman

Our Rector writes with the sad, but expected, news of Milt Wyman’s death.
We have lost one of the giants. What a privilege it was to have known him.


“Milt Wyman, a longtime member of St. Peter’s Church, died peacefully this morning with his wife, Marlyn, at his side. Suffering from several medical conditions, Milt had been declining in health the last few months. Milt was a strong and vital presence in the life of St. Peter’s, as Marlyn continues to be. Calling hours and a funeral service are being planned.”


Rest eternal grant to Milt, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful, departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

September 24, 2021

Keni Hansen writes with the sad news that her good friend Saundy, whose cancer had recently recurred and who had been in the ICU with infection, has died this morning.


May God uphold her family during this time of loss and grief; and may God grant that light perpetual shine upon her and that she rest in peace. AMEN

September 22, 2021

Nora and John Alastra ask for prayers tomorrow as they close on the sale of their old house and the purchase of their new one; they will move as soon as they have possession.
May God grant that all goes smoothly for Nora and John in these transactions and move. AMEN


Milt Wyman has now been moved into a hospice situation. Cards sent to their home are welcome.
Dear Lord, please grant Milt a peaceful end and uphold Marlyn and the rest of their family during this time. AMEN

September 16, 2021

Milt Wyman

Marlyn Wyman has told us that Milt is back in the hospital and is not expected to live. As many of you already know, Milt has been dealing with esophageal cancer and an underlying heart problem.

“Peggy Guenther, a long-time member of St. Peter’s Church, died Thursday, July 29th in Shawnee, Ohio, after a long battle with Lymphoma. I took communion to Pegs, her husband Ken, brother Rick and sister Penny the week before her death while she was at the Country Club Rehabilitation Center on South Sandusky in Delaware. 


“Please also pray for the recovery of Peggy’s brother, Rick Marshall, who suffered a heart attack after returning to his home in Rhode Island. He is “doing okay” now.
“The family is planning a private family funeral at St. Peter’s Church at some time in the near future.

“Rest eternal grant to Peggy, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful, departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. AMEN”
