We shall greatly miss her - Lagos, Nigeria

Our Dearly Beloved Bro. Cec,

Greetings of love to you in the Lord's most faithful Name. It was with a great shock that we received the news about the home calling of our dear mother and sister Mavis. We were actually in church this afternoon about early morning over there when sister Anita called to break the news.
We had sent you a mail last night to encourage you over her health situation and the surgeries, only to now hear this. We are really very sorry and do really share the grief of this hour. We know that God must have deemed it the best for her and those of us still alive. There is no doubt she has overcome, now it is time to rest in the bosom of the Father.
We are all aware of all she had gone through for sometime now, and for you who had stood with her in the battle. We thank God for His mercies and for the life Mavis lived. She poured out her life to us all in the body. Her unshaking voice even in the midst of a failing flesh had always encouraged us all. We shall greatly miss her, but we bless God for everything.
Be encouraged brother. What shall we say to you, than to lift you up to the father for the comfort of the Spirit. Be comforted and strengthened by the Lord in this time.
We Love You!
We wait for details of arrangements. We have tried to call earlier through brother Carl's phone number but it went into voice mail where we left a message. We shall continue to try to call till we can get a way to reach you directly.

Bye for now.

Willie & Ada. (Lagos, Nigeria)
