I am faced with one of the hardest things in life, writing a tribute for Herniatta Selle, my dear sister, and friend. I cannot even find the strength to utter the words in my heart, for death you have filled my heart with pain, rage, and questions.
But for today, I choose to celebrate the life of Herniatta Selle – you were loving, caring, kind, compassionate, dedicated, supportive, and big-hearted. You are respected by me and a lot of other people, you were a woman of strength, courage, one to be admired and praised. Your words were always wise, and kindness was the rule for everything you said and did. You were God-fearing and deserving of praise. The good deeds of your life will bring honor, to your daughters. I celebrate your life and I pray your memories will forever be adorned with praises.
I do believe God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled; Though you are physically gone, your life is poured in your daughters and into us your family and friends. In this, I find a little consolation, that you continue to live in us.
