We shall miss her (Mother) very much however, we remain confident in the words of Psalm 116:12-15 “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the Lord is the death of his SAINTS''.
