As the rain and snow come down from the HEAVENS on EARTH, and do not return without watering this EARTH, and giving seeds to the SOWER, and harvest to the REAPER, and does not return VOID, till this is ACCOMPLISHED. So also says the LORD that whatever goes from his mouth, will never return VOID till it ACCOMPLISHES and achieves all it was sent for. So, my darling SISTER and your beloved family you left behind, we know you ACCOMPLISHED ALL YOU WERE SENT FOR and ACHIEVED its purpose thru GODS HAND UPON YOU. Let each member of this family she has left behind understand that she was AN UNMISTAKABLE REPRESENTATIVE OF YOURS LORD UPON THEM, and all those she encountered in life journey. Finally, I conclude saying this from my heart. You were admired for that strong and beautiful WOMAN OF GOD that you were. Celebrating your life thru this message saying” THANK YOU GOD for an AMAZING WOMAN / MOTHER/ SISTER and FRIEND, he created you to be. GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN MY SWEET SISTER.
