“Tears will never stain the streets of that city
No wreaths of death on my mansion door
Teardrops aren’t welcome beyond the gates of glory
For the heart will never break anymore” (The Grace Thrillers).
We are deeply saddened and heartbroken as we extend condolences to our brother Ruel (Cleve) as well as his children and grandchildren, on the passing of his wife Josephine, affectionally called Adlyn. However, we take comfort in knowing that our loss is heaven’s gain. As the Grace Thrillers articulate in their very fitting song, she is inside the gates of Glory where the “heart will never break anymore.”
Adlyn was married to our brother for many years and their union produced four beautiful, talented, educated and God-fearing children. As a teacher and role model, she ensured that all her children received and completed tertiary education. Some of the adjectives that adequately describe her are: caring, loving, kind, nurturing, humble, dedicated, disciplined, and the list goes on – qualities that are emulated by her children.
As a Christian and devoted child of God, she was a stalwart for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her religious foundation was laid at the Williamsfield New Testament Church of God which contributed to her spiritual growth and development. This led to her, serving in almost all positions with passion and enthusiasm. As a result of her nurturing disposition, the young people of the church gravitated to her because they could always find a comforting shoulder on which to lean.
Josephine Juanita Davis (Sister Adlyn) wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, educator, friend, woman of God, gentle giant, we miss you, but we will meet you again in the land where we will never say goodbye.
May her soul rest in peace and rise in glory.
Brothers-in-law: Hansford & Sebert. Sisters-in-law: Veita, Helen, Veronica & Deserene
