"So when my latest breath
Breaks through the veil of pain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
That resurrection word,
That shout of victory:
Once more, “Forever with the Lord!”
Amen, so let it be!

Forever with the Lord, Amen so let it be!
Taken away too soon but God knows best. Continue to rest in perfect peace in the bosom of the Lord. Happy birthday dearest Ma-ma.

In Memory of Elesie (Precious) by Charlene Heinl and Lisa Burke

There are no more tears in Heaven,
  so I have left behind
  these little teardrops
  to lovingly remind
though absent form the body,
  I'm present with the Lord,
  the joy of my salvation
  is now my full reward.
And just as God has promised
  He's wiped my tears away
  and nothing can compare to
  the wonder of that day.
So wear this (a tear drop silver necklace) in my memory
  and know that up above
  there are no tears in Heaven.
Instead there's only Love

Elesie you would have turned 48 last July. The pain of loosing you is still so raw. Its unbelievable that you are no more. What a homecoming it must have been and reunion with papa. What a birthday celebration it must have been with the heavenly hosts! We are consoled by the fact that you are truly at rest. Continue to rest in perfect peace in the bosom of the Lord.

I know it must hurt you to see the tears shed every single day. I understand that you are resting lovingly in the hands of God but miss you terribly. Continue your well-deserved rest. Thank you for the words of encouragement and gratitude. Even in death, you have been a rock.
Today would have been your birthday. I wonder what huge celebration you are having in heaven. I love you but God loves you more.
Rest in Peace.

Aunty,

Your grace and courage will always be an inspiration to me. I'm thankful for the times you called and prayed with me and my family during my dad's illness and after he passed. You are deeply missed but I am thankful because I know you are with the Lord now; no more pain, medications nor doctor visits. Rest in the Lord.

With love,

Let the memory of our sister Elesie be with us forever.

Elesie, I cannot believe you are gone at the prime of your life, but GOD knows.

You were a talented, precious gift of God. You were special and unique. God used you as an intercessor. You reached out and prayed for others.

Elesie, you were resolute in your trust and faith in God.

Give us the grace Lord to bear the irreparable loss.

AMEN.

Sadly, I never knew a time when my Auntie Precious was not sick. Fortunately, I saw her be a survivor, a fighter, and a lover. There was no Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Birthday of mine where my Auntie did not call. She would speak with strength and enthusiasm that I saw nowhere else. I am very glad to know that she can rest in peace with God.

Goodbye My Sister - in - Law

Elesie was a very respectful young woman who always showed reverence to me as her brother-in-law. She never lost that age-long African tradition where age is respected.

Elesie had a good heart: when my mother died in November 2013, she was among the first sympathizers to call me. Despite her illness, Elesie never failed to call me on each of my birthdays. I was always embarrassed each time she called because I never returned the favor during her own birthdays. Yet, that did not deter her. People are remembered, not for their accumulated riches in this world, but for the noble legacy they leave behind. She was selfless in her deeds. 

Elesie will forever be remembered. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

You will be forever missed by us. Rest in peace gentle soul in the bosom of your Maker, till that glorious resurrection morning when we will meet to part no more.
Good night.

Glory be to God for a life well-spent, because I know where you are, resting in the Lord. This is still quite the surprise to me because we just spoke only a few days before the news. I really miss you, especially the day to day fellowship we usually had over the phone. I will miss your calm, encouraging, exciting, and inspiring thoughts that you would often share with me. I find solace knowing that you went to heaven with happiness, and thoughts of you will forever remain green in our hearts. Sleep well, beloved sister.

Elesie my dearest, we had fellowship over the telephone on 01/01/14. We shared the Good News about Jesus- his love, greatness and mighty power. You sounded very strong and was full of Joy. There was no clue that you had answered the call and was going to be with your father, the Almighty God. Yes, our Lord Jesus came for you at an hour I did not expect.

Elesie, you touched many lives, but you touched me in many special ways. I will always remember your gentle but powerful words of encouragement. You were a source of strength for many to tap into. You will be missed.

To Jesus Christ be glory and power forever and ever. To the family, be courageous, be very courageous. Amen!

When I think of my Aunty Elesie, the first thing that comes to mind is how big of a heart she had. Aunty Elesie--without fail--remembered all of me and my siblings’ birthdays, every year, and she was sure to call us on each birthday and enthusiastically wish us well.

One of the most special memories I have of Aunty Elesie was a conversation we had over the phone when I was in my third year of college. All she had for me were encouraging words and a strong confidence that God would show me which career path to take. She told me not to worry, that God had a purpose for my life and that He had given me everything I needed to succeed. That is the type of caring, loving, warm, and precious aunt that Aunty Elesie was.

I still cannot believe that Aunty Elesie, Aunty Precious, is gone, but I know that she is resting with the Lord and that she is at complete peace. I love you, Aunty Precious, and I know we will meet again in Heaven.

Aunty Precious,

I thank God for the moments I was able to spend with you. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met, and you fought courageously through life. I am sadden to lose you so soon, but I know you are resting peacefully in Heaven. I thank you for the impact you made on my life, and the blessing you were to my mother and so many others. May you rest in peace.

Dearest Sister/Friend, Since it has pleased the Lord to call you home at this time I have come to accept it and resign to the Lord's will. Ps.116:15 " Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants." I'm already missing our prayer and sharing moments. But we will continue in the work of the ministry to comfort the hurting and the dejected as the Lord has called us to do. There is no doubt we will meet again in Heaven, at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I pray that I will be woken up from this nightmare even though I know that will not happen. I miss you more as the days go bye. My consolation is that you will continue to live through your good works. Greet Papa!

Dear Elesie. 
Words are inadequate to express the shock and sorrow I felt when the news of your demise reached me. It was less than three weeks after you had called to express gratitude for our visit. You sounded so strong and I had thanked God for the dramatic improvement in your health. I did not anticipate this sudden reversal. 
Someone wrote that “some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same”. Such would be your legacy for you touched so many with your soft and genuine words of encouragement. You fought hard and endured long and now, at the bosom of your Maker, Lover and Savior, I know you have found rest and peace. He has wiped every tear from your eyes, and you have no more pain. As the Word of God says, “the memory of the righteous is a blessing” Proverbs 10:7. Your memory, Elesie, is a blessing. Thank you for your love and service. You will never be forgotten.
And now, I pray that God will bring comfort, peace and healing to the hearts of your daughter, husband, mother, siblings, relatives and the friends you left behind. May God somehow fill the gapping void you have left in Jesus Name. Amen.
Sincerely:

Aunt Elesie passed away, on January, but her spirit lives on.
I’m honoured to represent my family to give remarks about my aunt Elesie.

I told My Mummy that I could reflect effectively on Aunt Elesie in 2 minutes, and she assured me that those two minutes do not apply to me, so I’m going to take my liberty, and you can blame her for the extra time that I take.

Actually, there is no amount of time I could be allotted that would be ample to do justice to who my aunt was and what she instilled in my life—in the lives of so many—but to my life in particular. I’m convinced that whatever I am, whatever I am to become, I owe to those who have left an imprint on my life: my parents, yes, who gave me life; my Aunt Elesie, too, who enriched that life, She was refined strong Christian  , and one might even say, defined, her live life a success.. And she never say no when she is asked to do something in the church. That, too, was God’s will. For so many reasons, and in so many ways, Aunt Elesie left an indelible mark upon my life.

Her impact for me was unique in that it spanned some of the most vital years in my development—beginning prior to and into my formative years. She shaped my values, solidifying a faith in Christ that would not be shaken. She is respectable person, very likeable, who value of an education, and to work hard and I got to see the fruit that hard work yields.
She took care of a house like no one else could, she was a gracious hostess, she was phenomenal


But the truth of the matter is what the Bible teaches us that a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses. And as much as Aunt Elesie enjoyed her share of things, she understood what really mattered. Now, she was not perfect, But she also possessed something that is so unique and sadly, it’s growing increasingly unique: She had a servant’s heart. Hers was a life of true sacrifice. . God is God, and He knows how to get things done, but one thing I’ve learned in this life is that God uses people, and He used her.

I thank God for the opportunity. Some people don’t get that opportunity. It is something I will always cherish, and I knew God had a plan and He worked it as only He can. I can’t say I understand it all, because I don’t, but I trust God.

Aunt Elesie’s life was miracle after miracle after miracle, and I thank God for every moment of this past year where He steadily strengthening her, and sustaining her, and still using her! He is a miracle working God!

Aunt Elesie may have departed this life, but her legacy lives on. It lives on in the lives of so many, and it lives on in me. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the servant’s heart that she had, but even if I possess a modicum of that servant’s heart she carried throughout her life, I will be a much better person—and even then it won’t be because of anything I could ever have been on my own. It’ll be because of the grace of God, and because of those who have poured into my life—and among the most prominent of those individuals is my aunt, Elesie.

A dear Friend

June 23, 2017

Riding on a train today, I thought about my oldest core of friends. I had not kept up with one of them- the brightest and most vocal of my childhood friends. A google search started with the hope of sending a much belated goodwill message brought me to this page.

Eke sie- how sad for me that I never reached out to say hello, never had the pleasure of meeting your family. Now you at peace with God.


You were special! Even as a young child, you stood out with kindness, confidence and those bright eyes. I close my mind's eye and I remember our childhood like it was yesterday. You were special and I know God will grant you eternal rest. May your soul Rest In Peace! So terribly belated - Biko accept my deepest and most profound sympathy.

Elesie The Mighty Woman Of God

February 11, 2014

 

But the path of the righteous is like the shining light

That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Prov. 4:18

 

Elesie, the woman on a mission filled and refilled with passion for the Lord and the word of God. She was filled with ever ready excitement to share revelations of power in the word of God and the testimonies of the goodness and faithfulness of God. She was the evangelist faithfully passing on daily meditations.

We watched the scroll of the Lord unfold before us displaying the Advance Warrior Mission life of Elesie. She held on the right hand of the LORD all throughout. She stayed passionate even in a desert place. We watched her emerge from the wilderness with a contagious smile again and again and we thanked God with her.

We gripped our seats and held our breath when the storm swept her under the waters.  The calm looking waters stared back at us. Then Elesie would emerge still praising the LORD and filled with His testimonies. It was like watching the covenant of the LORD with day and night. The night rolls off and the light rolls in. Blessed be our God.

We watched her molded and refined in her walk with the LORD her God. In Elesie we saw a journey with the Lord carrying the cross humbly and firmly, through fiery and slippery terrain. We were often perplexed.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:31

Because death and sin were defeated on the cross at Calvary, as she strode boldly carrying her cross she paraded her victory over death in every step. Faith and 

strength manifested in Elesie when she was stretched. Joy bubbled to the surface just when it felt like she is sunk. For the walk with her cross she drew down anointing wherever she went and ministered.

Elesie walked pleasing the Lord and ignored distractions of well meaning words and counsel. She fixed her eyes on Jesus for the joy set before her and did not lose heart. We watched her but did not know her and her identity as only her Lord and Master Jesus does. Our expectation was different from the way of her Lord.

Elesie, life of a powerful testimony to the glory of the Lord, has joined the great cloud of witnesses, with her broad smile, to watch and cheer us on to throw off what hinders perseverance in the race marked out for us. When weary let us fix our eyes on Jesus like Elesie did.

Elesie, you have fought the good fight of faith, enter the glory for the crown.

Yes, Elesie we will remember you with prayers on our lips and recall your loud rendition of Hallelujahs….

Renee, please bless the Lord everyday for the rock from which you were hewn; the rock for a great purpose and legacy of the Lord, Elesie.

Elesie, we saw in you a well orchestrated journey of a warrior woman of the Lord, a soldier in the forward advance regiment of the Kingdom. We celebrate your life lived and accomplished in the Lord. We celebrate the victory of the cross. We celebrate the Lord who blessed us with you. We celebrate the life that shines brighter into a perfect day…

Be Thou my vision o Lord of my heart,

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art-

Thou my best thought, by day or by night,

Walking or sleeping, Thy presence my light…

High King of heaven, after victory won, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all…

Death comes. It comes to each family each person and is a part of the cycle. We expect it when our family members are old and infirm and have lived many decades. We know that one day our time will come. It takes much soul searching to accept it when death comes totally unexpected.   Elesie, I can’t believe that you are gone. It grieves my heart that you left without saying goodbye. Though I grieve and mourn every day, one thing that gladdens my heart is that you have gone to be with the Lord. Sleep on Elesie my beloved till we meet to part no more on the resurrection day. I will forever miss you.
