Letters and Messages from Family and Friends

Loving greetings all the Yergatian family....

All our family sends loving greetings to you as you have the homegoing service of your father, indeed a greatly used servant of the

Lord. He was the patriarch of the family. God gave him many years and a burdened heart for ministries reaching around the world. We cherish the memories of our fellowship and sharing together in the work of the gospel.

We also send our loving greetings to your mother, Esther, trusting that the Lord will strengthen and comfort her heart in this time of loss.

We miss our loved ones who go before us but we have positive assurance that we will meet together in heaven in a glorious reunion of all the redeemed.

We wish we could be present for this important occasion and also enjoy meeting many who have come together from far and near to pay their respects.

At a men's prayer meeting Wednesday morning at our church there was opportunity to share with those present the news of the homegoing of Brother Levon listing a few of the ministries he had a vital part in starting and promoting over the years.

We continue praying for you as a family.

Our heart-felt love goes out to you all.....

From Brother Dick Knox, Sister Martha,
and our families in Japan, Hawaii, and New Mexico.

Dear Sarah, Virginia, Lily, and Hovsep,

I'm very sorry to hear the news about your father. Please accept my sincere sympathy to all the Yergatian family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your father was like a spiritual father to me during my early walk with the Lord while I attended the American Academy nearly five decades ago.

Levon Melkonian was responsible for leading me to the Lord on one of his visits to Cyprus in the early 60s, but it was your father who natured me in the Lord afterwards during my last four years at the Academy.

When I read your e-mail earlier this morning, I couldn't keep from shedding tears of sorrow but yet these were tears of joy because my dear friend and brother in Christ is home safe at last in the presence of the Lord! What a glorious homecoming in Heaven must be! I'll miss him very much as I had hoped to see him again or speak with him on the phone to tell him

how much a difference he has made in my life because of his love for the Lord and his great passion for souls. He taught me so much during those short early years in Cyprus. May his great example teach us all to faithfully continue to serve the Lord till we meet Him. What a day that will be!

How is your mother coming along? Is she is Cyprus or will she be coming to the States to live with you? Please give my best regards to her and assure her that she will also be in our thoughts and prayers.

My wife and I will be more that happy to participate in your father's Memorial Fund. What an honor and a noble cause!

I have a whole lot more of fond memories of your father but I'll wait to share them

with you at a later time.

Last Friday, July 10, was the 46 th anniversary that I left Cyprus. Sarah, I was reminded of your father when we both traveled on the same boat nearly half a century ago. He was going to England to share his burden about the work of the Lord in Cyprus, and especially about the future founding of the Logos School, while I was going to join the Operation Mobilization teams in Paris.

(Attached is a photo taken by my father at the Larnaca sea port prior to our departure on July 10, 1963).

May the God of comfort continue to abide with you.(2 Cor. 1:2-5)

(Please distribute this note to your other two sisters and brother.)

Yours in Christ,

John M. Metaxas

Dear Craig and Sarah:

My wife and I are away for about five weeks in various places throughout Asia--currently in Guam--where we received your e-mail about Levon’s passing into Glory. What an abundant entrance he must have had! Of course, our hearts are heavy with the news. Your father was one of the men I most respected in all the earth. His integrity and his passion for the lost--particularly for his own Armenian people--were a joy to behold and were immediately apparent in every conversation throughout his life.

I know your hearts are very sad right now--and yet full of joy that his sufferings are over and that he has entered into the joy of his Lord. He was a good soldier. He fought a good fight. He kept the faith. You have a glorious heritage!

There is no painless way to lose a father, Sarah, and his loss will forever after leave a very special void. But how blessed it is to know that that void brings from the Lord special nearness and ministration of comfort, and our own loneliness reminds us in a new and stronger way of the sweet reunion to which we look forward with confident hearts.

With deepest sympathy,

Dear Esther, dear Sarah and all the Yergatian family members, with whom we are aquainted, thank you for informing us about Levon´s entrance into Heaven. How wonderful to be seeing the Lord for ever. Levon was a scource of inspiration and help to us. Following his example we started a Christian school in our area that now over 750 students attend. He was the one who encouraged us to start the school. We often enjoyed fellowshipping with him when he stayed in our home.

Our times are in the Lord´s hands and He says in Psalm 116:15: "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."

We understand that you do not feel like rejoycing now but we know how much easier it is to let a loved one go knowing that we will all be one day reunited. We pray that the Lord will be your comfort during this time of mourning.

Yours united in the Lord Jesus

Dear Sarah, dear sister in Christ,

Thank you very much for your card, which came here today.

I was very and deeply touched to hear about your Father being now with his Savior and Lord. Although he is far better now tears came to my eyes on hearing of it; he was a very good servant of the Gospel, an excellent man of God, a superior believer. I cannot find the right words to express my love and appreciation for him.

We all of us know very well that we will meet him again in the Presence and in the Heavenly Light with our Beloved Lord, Jesus Christ.

My deep sympathy, consolation and love to your Mother, to you and to all of your Yergatian family. God be with you and bless you richly, dear sister in Christ.

Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Dear Sarah:

For some reason, I just had a feeling about your folks before I opened your email. Our sincere sympathy at the loss of your dear father, Levon. One thing we are all certain of is that he is now in the presence of His Savior and Lord for whom he labored so long. He was a dear person and faithful servant of the Lord. I hope your mother is holding up ok. Please give her and your family our condolences. Will be thinking of you all as you attend services Saturday in Cyprus. What a blessing your folks have been to us.

In Him.....

Carole and Errol Salter

Dear Hovsep,

Our prayers have been with you since the passing away of your dear father, our Levon Uncle.

We have watched the pictures on FB, and ask the comfort of the Holy Spirit to be with you all.

I'm so glad that I was there with you this February past, and was able to spend some time with him. He is with the Jesus he loved so much and lived for all these years, so faithfully.

Can I please have a mailing address in Cyprus where I could send a card to you and Virginia?

Thanks.

Paul & Takouhi

+++

Dear Hovsep,

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. However, for him it is 'far better' and he is where he always wanted to be. I have so wanted to come over to see him but have been unable to because of so many obstacles. I will just have to wait to see him in the presence of the Lord.

Please pass on our love and condolences to all the family.

With our love and sympathy,

John & Beryl Mitchell

+++

Hovsep, Cathleen and Yergatian family,

There are so many things that can be said and yet there is nothing to be said of any consolation. The physical distance between us makes this all the more difficult. If we were there, we would hug and cry and remember. But we are so far away those things are not possible. You are however, very close to us in prayer and affection. We pray that God would give you all strength and comfort in this very difficult time.

Much love,

Steve, Nora, David, James, Hannah

+++

Dear Hovsep, I just wanted to convey my condolences from my family to yours about our dear brother’s departure from this world. I know you are comforted with the comfort of God and the knowledge that he is now with his Lord and Savior which he served all of his life. May his memory be a constant reminder to all of us as how to live a wise life.

Prayfully yours,

Herach and Vera

PS Please convey this message to your mom also, I did not know how to contact her.

+++

Dear Sarah and Craig,

We are praying for you, your family, and all the loved ones in

Cyprus, having just heard of your dear father's homegoing. Brother Levon was our long-time co-worker and precious friend for so many years. May the Lord give you all His comfort and grace at this time of loss. We would very much like to have an email address or phone number in order to send a message directly to Cyprus. Psalm 116:15. With our love,

Brother Dick and Sister Martha Knox

Dear Aunty Esther, I was so sad to hear that Uncle Levon had gone to heaven on sunday. He was a wonderful servant of God and I guess he is having a rest now.

I pray the Lord will look after you and your family and I really look forward to seeing you in August when I come with Pola and Richard to Cyprus.

My love and sympathy to you and your family and a big hug to you dear aunty

When I received the phone call from Sarah, early Sunday morning, asking me to have Lily call her, I knew it was not good news. I later saw Patil, who was obviously sadden by the death of her grandfather. I told her I remembered when my grandmother past away and even though I was sad, deep down in my heart, I felt at peace. Because she was saved and that she was with the Lord. Patil smiled. Although the passing of a loved one is never easy, our Merciful Father in heaven will give you the peace knowing that your father is with him. Your father was a blessing to many people. He will now receive his just reward.

God Bless

Dear Hovsep and Cathleen,

I love you so much. Sure I am weeping with you for the lossof your dad. And you and I and family need to have sorrow for him. But Praise God that your father and my Levon uncle is a man of God, and now he is seeing Jesus' face that he longed to see all his life. He is now in Glory. Praise God. What living faith and hope we have in Christ.

Thank you for Toros's and Virginia's cel. number, since I was going to call you today to say that I am praying for you and your whole family and to ask for their phone number, but you are one step ahead of me.

Love you and bacheegs,

Miss you,

Hi Craig and Sarah, Caleb, Jeanette, and Esther Rose,

I just heard the news about Levon Uncle's passing. It was too late to call you but I wanted to at least send you a note. I want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I'm sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the feeling of losing a parent. May the Lord our God comfort you with surpassing peace and may you know that you are loved and thought of. My deepest condolences. Oh man, i love you and my heart goes out to you and the rest of the family. We loved Levon Uncle so much! His memory will definitely live on. I'll never forget the songs he taught us and all the wonderful stories he had to share. He was loved by so many and he touched so many lives with his walking testimony of who God is in his life.

God bless you and comfort you with HIS peace.

Love,

Dear Cathleen and Hovsep,

I'm so sorry to hear the news of Levon Uncle's passing :(. Mom just told me. I thought I could write you a note and let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Toros,

We were deeply saddened by news of the home going of our faithful friend and gifted servant Brother Yergatian. I am particularly grateful for his vision and heart for the task of Christ and the Kingdom and for his passion for the work and ministry in Armenia. Iris joins me in extending our love and prayers to your wife and family during this time of remembrance.

The Lord has promised to those who sorrow, giving beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Isa. 61:3

Dear Toros and Virginia,

I know Virginia is there with the kids and I wanted to send this email to the both of you, I hope it will catch you guys before you leave for Cyprus.

I just wanted to let you know how saddened I personally am about the news about our dear brother’s departure from this world. We were in our summer conference when we heard about it. On Sunday morning we had a little memorial service for him. I know you are comforted by the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

May the memory of our dear brother be a good reminder to all of us to keep serving the Lord, as he did all of his life.

Prayfully yours,

Herach and Vera

Hey Virginia & Toros –

We just wanted to send you a note to let you know that you guys are all in our prayers… starting from Esther Mokoor and to the whole family! I’m sure it’s crazy time for you and I’m not sure where all of you are (Cyprus? Armenia? Both??) but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. It’s times like these where we feel the need even more to be together as the extended family and I wish we could just give you a hug! Hopefully you will all have a chance to come together this week with your immediate family.

I know we’re a continent away but if there is anything we can do, please let us know… and also know how much Levon Uncle will be missed – he was a beloved uncle to our family – always kind, generous, funny, etc. – I can’t say enough.

Love you guys,

Hilda & Shant

Dear Toros

We heard about Levon. Just wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. And we miss him as much as we miss Papi.

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. We heard the news on Sunday. I know exactly how you feel. It is very difficult to lose a father that we loved so dearly.

My very dear Lily,

There is nothing more difficult and devastating in life than loosing a loved one… More than sympathy, I want to send you empathy and love, since I have been through this path so many times. May you, and all of your loved ones live long and always remember him. There is no other way with grief except through it... This will be a hard journey for you –however, I have come to know your strength and resilience. This is the time to draw upon your reserves…

My heartfelt wishes and blessings.

When you return home and feel like it, I would like to visit you...

Love,

Elina

Sarah:

Pastor Elmer told me this morning about your father going Home. Please accept my condolences for this loss to your family and to the work. While saddened, I have a difficult time feeling grieving when a saint is called to Rest. I enjoyed the few times that I was able to be with Levon and the family, but I would not wish to take him away from the glory that is now his. In my opinion this is the highest honor that can happen to a child of Christ, when He calls and says, “That’s enough. Time to come Home.”

Ed Hale

Dear Lily:

My deepest condolences, I know how that feels and I wish you strength, faith and peace.

It is always so hard to find words to this type of situations, but rest assure you'll be on my prayers tonight.

May the soul of your Dad rest in peace and finds its light to heaven and God.

Have a safe trip, may God be with you as well,

I'll pray for your Dad.

Love, Nazik

PD: Let me know if you need anything

Dear Lily and Hovsep,

My condolences.

Your father was a great man who has been an example to many. He was a visionary who never stopped serving our Lord.

Hey Hovsep,

I just woke up and its 3 am in the morning, and i've been thinking about your Dad. He was, and still is (in the cloud of witnesses) a great man of God. We were sorry to hear of his passing away, but at the same time rejoice that he is where he has been longing to be, plus rejoice for the fruit of his many years of labour. While being up and praying and thinking about your dad i felt the Lord speak to me some things which i'd like to share with you and Cathleen, i know you must be very busy now with family and friends around, but when things calm down a little maybe we can have a skype talk where i can share them with you.

I pray for God's comfort and joy in this time of grief.

Blessings,

Craig and Sarah

I was so sorry to hear that your father went to be with the Lord. I remember him so well. He was such a kind, godly man who so obviously loved the Lord and his people. I feel very privileged to have known him just for one summer. May the Lord comfort you and your family.

In Him,

Dear Sarah

I was very saddened to hear the news of your father’s passing. It is the end of an era but I think he would have been happy to leave this earth from his beloved Cyprus. When I last saw him in May 2006 I could see how happy he was to be in Cyprus again.

I am well familiar with losing close family and my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

With lots of love

Dear Mrs Yergatian, Sarah, Virginia, Lily and Hovsep

I opened your e-mail just this morning upon my return to the office from leave.

I am very deeply saddened by the loss of your beloved father. Mr Levon (as we former pupils of Logos School fondly referred to him) played an instrumental role in setting up the first English secondary school in Limassol in 1973. Partly thanks to him my years at Logos School remain an unforgetable part of my childhood.

I am thankful for the opportunity of meeting Mr Levon last summer at a class reunion arranged by Sarah here in Cyprus. That was a great reunion Sarah and I hope to see you all again here in Cyprus.

During this period of grieving, my parents, sisters, Michael and I would wish that you accept our condolences. Our thoughts are with you all.

With all our love,

Morris and the Helal family

+++

Dear Sarah,

Sorry to of your Dad's death. We'll be thinking of you and praying for you through this difficult time. Even though we know your Dad has gone to begin "real life', it's hard for those left behind. Your Dad blessed many people through his life, work and witness in Limassol and that is the legacy we long to leave when we go, isn't it?We hope your Mum is coping.

With much love,

Joan, Daniel and the girls.

Dear Hovsep,

On behalf of my family and of me, please pass to the family our deepest condolences.

I'm sure that he is in peace resting in our beloved God's and our savior's presence.

Dear Sarah,

Heard about Uncle Levon's going to heaven this morning here in Orlando, FLA. As you said, how 'sad' and yet we know where he is — with the Savior he loved so much, and served Him all his years. We are a witness to that. I'm so glad I visited him again in February of this year. May God comfort Yester Mokkour, and all of you, my dear cousins. Our deepest sympathy.

Read more this world. He is in the presence of his Savior, face to face, and is getting much needed rest!

We love you very much!
