Lodge of Sorrow, 2024

Worshipful Master Keith Harvey ordered Secretary Roen to do a roll call of the workmen of the Lodge. After roll call, he noted the following Brothers from our Lodge have not answered to their name. They have laid down their working tools of our ancient craft as they have been summoned to the Celestial Lodge above. No longer do they labor among us, guided by the three Great Lights of Masonry. Their days are now illuminated by the far greater light, which someday we will all know.

Secretary Roen then reported the following:
