Today we take comfort in the words of Paul who said:  “…I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

Pastor Errol Tinker, Executive Secretary of the North Bahamas Mission and Acting President, Pastor Leonard Johnson, President of The Bahamas Conference, other administrators, pastors, and members of the Adventist churches in The Bahamas, extend deepest condolences to Ann, his wife, his sons, Anson, Alden, Brendon, parents brother, sisters, other relatives and friends.

Also extending sympathies to the family is Pastor Patrick Allen, President of West Indies Union of Seventh-day Adventists, of which the Bahamas Conference and The North Bahamas Mission are members. He is joined by all the leaders of the fields of West Indies Union (Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, Cayman Island) and The Inter American Division.

Pastor Albury, a great leader and minister of the gospel, was certainly a man of God who loved to share the gospel of Christ to others. He is also widely remembered for the sermon he delivered at the memorial service of our former Prime Minister and Adventist member, Sir Lynden Oscar Pindling. His spirit, drive, and stamina made him an outstanding administrator and visionary leader.  Undoubtedly he was one of the great Bahamian spiritual leaders of our time.   

The family wishes to thank the church membership-at-large for your continued prayers during our most trying time.  We are left to cherish the timeless words of our husband, father, son, and brother:  “While longevity on earth is a worthy goal, eternity with God is more precious."
