O-B-I,as I fondly called you,You were more than a friend and a brother to me.The news of your demise came as a shock to me and my wife that faithful day. Ever since then,I have been lost in thoughts and kept asking,How ? and Why? did it happen. But who are we to question this Immortal,Invisible and Only Wise GOD!
You always stood as a brother should for me. At my wedding that year,you were my Best Man. You did all you could that fateful day to make sure that day was successful and memorable. After my wedding you kept calling to know if We were doing well. Oh my dear brother,the memories of all the time we spent together sharing ideas and thoughts are all fresh in my memory. We had a discussion the last time we spoke,now how do I carry on without you.
I have spoken with your wife,even though I have been short of words,But I know God would surely comfort and console her and your young daughter. Your Mum,God would protect and console too.
I ask myself over and over again,,
Does Jesus Care,When our heart is grieved
Too deeply for Mirth or Song,,
As the Burdens Press,and the Cares Distress,,,
Does He care enough to be near!
And I get a heavenly assurance,,,
Oh Yes,He cares! I Know He Cares!
His Heart is touched with our grief,,,
When the days go weary,the Long nights dreary,,
I know our Saviour CARES!
GOD SURELY CARES!
To Anene and your daughter,God Surely cares! His heart is touched with your pains and griefs,and HE would comfort you all.
May your gentle soul find eternal rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ,Till we meet to part no MORE! Adieu my dear brother!
Go in Peace!
