Wow Dad one year on,
Over the year in which you passed on, reviewing the precious moments we spent together over the years, the precious legacy you left us with, the tributes and good will of kit and kin and indeed all those you crossed paths with, on your sojourn on earth, we have fondly thought of you and missed you. The recollections have been golden, especially for me and my family. From the days of my birth, when your annually celebrated. the day of our birth and entrance into your life and the Marinho family and which continued throughout your life, even to the present day, from your abode in heaven. We feel your presence and presents, all around us every day. You were and are indeed a blessing, and your blessed memory lingers on, in our hearts and minds.
Visiting with mummy, she reminisces of the wonderful, loving, caring, giving, selfless and righteous man, she met and fell in love with, so many years ago. In her reflections, she daily blesses your name as she says, “God bless Festus Marinho, wherever you are in God’s universe!” Indeed, may your soul rest in perfect peace, Amen. We know you are perpetually in the presence of God, the everlasting father, comforting her always. Thankyou dad.
Personally, my family and I, are so grateful to God, for giving us, such an exemplary gem, for a Dad. You nurtured, guided, corrected, supported and loved us unconditionally. As children, we did not always understand your ways, but as the years rolled by, we have come to see you were right, in all the guidance, chiding, rebukes, foresight and insights you gave us, through the years. we thank God, you are finally receiving, the just reward for all your labors of love on our behalf, in the bosom of Abraham.
In retrospect, thinking back to the last times we spent together, before you departed to the Lord in Glory, we see you were ready to meet Him. Indeed, you told us you were ready to go, and we thank the Lord for preparing you and transitioning you so gently and swiftly, without much suffering, into his glorious presence.
Finally, our prayer today, is for you to always intercede for us and bless us from heaven, in God’s eternal presence, as we endeavor to keep untarnished, the legacy you left us with. That the Lord will continue to comfort and keep Mummy in his love and care, with good health, a long life and prosperity always. May the lord continue to console us all, and help us build on the precious and wonderful legacy, you left us and our children with in perpetuity.
Daddy we Thank you for everything you did for us all, we love you for who you were to us and we bless you and your blessed memory, now and always Amen, and Amen.
Continue to Rest in Perfect Peace.
Your loving Grandchildren, Daughter and son,
