Just thinking about you today. I read about how stern you were and I think to myself, how privileged some of us were for you to open up and let us see your funny, hilarious, sarcastic, expensive joke, dry face side. Those were special times and you are special. Boy, I had plans for you in my future life because you knew us so well! Then you played a low down, dirty trick on me!

Brother Diggs,
I don't know if you got my earlier EMail to you thanking you for your comments and requesting your number. I wanted to reiterate my gratitude to you for your kind comments and for standing in agreement with me regarding the honoring of the Liberian electoral process. I believe that we have to speak out for our rights and the rights of family, friends and fellow Liberians who would suffer if we don't. I was pretty upset and frustrated after learning from one of my members that the political parties were planning to pull out. I thought to offer my opinion in the interest of our dear country and suggest that the political players rethink their positions.
Let us remain vigilant as we await the runoff within a matter of weeks. Liberia wins when our leaders behave with honor and integrity. It is our responsibility to hold them accountable. Thank you my friend and let us keep in touch.
God bless.
Your friend and brother,
NDivine
To my dearest sister Mrs. Anita Divine, may the Almighty God bestow his eternal comfort upon you in this deepest hour of need. To the rest of the grieving family, friends, and church members, this void will never be refilled but we rest in arms of the Lord knowing that our brother is in his care resting peacefully.
AMEN!

To Anita and the Divine family, we say "Nah ma yah". His work is done on earth and may his soul rest in perfect peace. God is good all the time.

The Liberian Community in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has suffered a great loss in the untimely passing of one of the pillars of the community, Rev. Dr. Napoleon Divine. Rev. Divine's presence was felt in every community impacting event, especially in times of grief, and sorrow where his counseling skills, and experience came in handy. Rev. Divine was one of the few Liberians who did not allow ethnicity to influence his decisions; if you were a Liberian, he reached out to you. Liberia needs many more Rev, Dr. Napoleon Divine’s That is why I would like to avail of this medium to express my sincere condolence to Dr. Patricia Divine Jackson, Samuel Divine, and through them the entire Divine family my deepest condolence, and pray that God will grant them strength to sustain this loss. Finally, I would be remiss if I fail to call on every patriotic Liberian to step in the shoes of this great son of Liberia, Rev. Dr. Napoleon Divine in forging a better Liberian Community void of ethnic rivalry, and bigotry

He will indeed certainly be missed by everyone who came his pathway.
We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers.
May his soul have a peaceful repose in the Lord.
You fought a good fight and the Lord awaits your arrival to receive your crown of righteousness. Rev. William M. Patray, Sr.

What I remembered
I remembered during worship service, Rev. Divine would always ask us to stand on our feet for congregational hymns.Sometimes with laughter, we would say in low tunes "that's all we have to stand on o"
Another favorite story was about his class ring from Ricks Institute and how grateful he was when Mother Divine saved some money and paid for his ring
Lastly, talking about cassava leaf and stock fish, you could count Rev. Divine in. Farewell Rev. Divine and R I P
