This page contains testimonies written about deceased Friends which have been approved by an Area Meeting and forwarded to Quakers in Yorkshire.
“The possibility of writing a testimony concerning the life and service of a deceased Friend has been a valued part of our tradition. A testimony should not be a formal obituary or eulogy, but should record in thankfulness the power of divine grace in human life.”
