Brother Yakub, that's how I've always referred to you, a true brother, you were. When I spoke to you early June, I never knew that would be the last time I would ever speak to you on Earth. How we take many things for granted. You were very close to my family and mine to yours. Thank God for the wonderful wife (Geneva), children (Dominic and Kemi), grandchildren, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law that God blessed you with. You were devoted to Geneva and your family. Thank God for that true love.
Also, thank God for the church family. You were originally raised in a Muslim family, but you found Christ, or rather, He found you. Glory be unto God! Christ found you and called you by His Name, and when the time came, God recalled you. Brother Yakub, you have now fulfilled the mission of all flesh. Oh God, who hears prayers, unto you all flesh come. Brother Yakub, we thank God for your life of humility, love, service, and devotion. Continue in your walk with God. We love you, but He loves you best!
