I met you 3 times while going to class. I was thoroughly confused. That was the day I first met you and by proxy, met 'Motown's Triplets'. We became friends and it still took a while to tell the difference between all 3 of you.You are gone now.A bitter Pill to swallow but we rest assured that you are Resting In Peace.Wishing your Husband, your children, Vida and Helen God's Peace and Comfort.
Amen

My deepest condolences brother Romeo. This is a very challenging time for you and your family I am very sure.Rose and her sisters were our senior in Ridge church school. They were an admirable bunch always smiling and together. I bet it isnt easy for Helen and Vida as well. Brother, if Rose was a born again Christian who has accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and personal saviour then we will surely see her again. She is at a good place where death is the only pass for entry. Rose will be missed. If you cry a little, rejoice more. Stay strong for the family. The Holy Spirit will be your comforter till we see her again.
