On May 13, 2020, Archpriest Vasily Alexandrov, clergyman of the Trinity Church of the Oktyabrsky settlement, passed away to the Lord. Matushka had 5 children left.

Of them three were minors. Almost five years batyushka bore the cross of severe kidney disease. When kidney failure went into a terminal stage, he was put on the waiting list for an organ transplant, but because of a number of circumstances and the beginning of the pandemic, did not have the opportunity to wait long. The family took the loss of their father and husband very hard, the inability to say goodbye properly due to quarantine measures added to the grief and pain for all of them. Now they are slowly getting accustomed to their new life. One could say they are coming back to life. Matushka Julia sent a short message about the family. Thanks to you who are helping them through these difficult times, they are feeling much better.

«We live by your prayers!

I am working, the children are studying.

We started a small renovation, as it was necessary.

On Pascha we went to the temple, on May 9 Maria was a volunteer and handed out St. George ribbons.

Today I was able to visit my husband’s grave and pray with the bishop and parishioners for the repose of the soul of Fr. We ask for prayers for the repose of Archpriest Vasily and the strengthening of his family, Matushka Julia and her children.
