Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time….. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die..

Sorry for your early life cut short. May you be with Jesus and may your loved ones know peace of that. I am a nurse, and you could have been one to replace this worn out horse. Notes have said you have a beautiful smile and that is what I would like others to remember of me. Now smile with Jesus.

Dear family and friends of Abena,
I am so sorry for the loss of this young woman who was loved by many.
We may wonder why? or if their is anything to look forward to?
Jesus well knew the Bible statement:” Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all”[Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that
sometimes bad things just happen.
The wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29.
Revelation 21:3,4 states that death will be no more. and pain
will be no more, the former things will have passed away.
Our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today.
most sincerely dianne mullins
