Celebrating life

 Love never dies.
For our family remembering loved ones who have died, their influence and importance on their lives, is a cause for rejoicing,
At our annual Celebration of Life, held on the anniversary of the death of our Mama Sue's beloved dad, Harold, our whole family joins together to share memories and thanksgiving,
Mama Sue led the prayers thanking God for taking care of our loved ones and also saying thank you for the raining which was falling, refreshing the air and quenching the thirst of the earth.
Speakers included Madam Elizabeth, Mr Isaac, Uncle Ronald, Auntie Velma and students Savanna. Teddy and Baraka Paul.
Uncle Isaac gave a moving tribute to his late mother, whilst Baraka spoke about a friend who died in a tragic accident that he himself had survived.
Auntie Velma talked about her Uncle Wilson and how he had been her motivation and of the way she witnesses the way Mama Sue is driven by the love of her late father,
Mama's determination to build her Happy House and her dedication to its family, is her tribute to him. And when she has a problem she stuggling to solve the one question she always asks is  
"What would Harold do?''.  Invariably the answer will come. 
Nineteen years after his death, he lives on in her heart. It's such a shame he couldn't live to see how many lives his Sue is changing. How proud he would have been.The upbeat Celebration of Life was lead by Samson and Brian and there gospel hymns to add the the upbeat ceremony.The upbeat Celebration of Life was lead by Samson and Brian and there gospel hymns to add the the upbeat ceremony.
