It is impossible to adequately capture in words the scale and depth of the faithful and exemplary woman, wife, grandma, great-grandmother and global leader that was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
On the news of her death this morning it feels like even the heavens are weeping. On behalf of my family I extend to the Royal family and nations of the Commonwealth our deepest sympathies at the time of this great loss.
The late Queen embodied her Christian faith and these values were evident in her courageous, dignified and faithful commitment for seven decades.
