Lovely is the heart that passes away but still remembered by all and sundry ... Nedu, it goes to show that life is not all about how long we spend on earth but the impact we made in the life of others and the lives we have been able to touch ... despite the fact that you have only lived 15yrs on earth ,,, it looks as if you have lived for a very long time,, My heart grieves because i met you as a little boy while you were on a visit to Nigeria,, and that memory has remained indelible in my heart ,,, but at this point i want to remember and celebrate your life hearing the stories/testimonies from people that love you dearly of how you have become a wonderful christian child. I know Heaven will rejoice to welcoming one of their own.. Adieu little cousin Nnanedu!!! CONTINUE TO REST IN THE BOSSOM OF D LORD.

I'd like to share a sermon series from Saddleback Church. It's an 8-part series entitled "How to Get Through What You're Going Through" and was preached after the Warrens' son passed away. There's a lot of comfort and practical application in the sermons: https://saddleback.com/watch/media/how-were-getting-through

I'd like to share a poem excerpted from "Faith in the Night Seasons" by Chuck and Nancy Missler. It was given to me when my aunt went home in 2013: When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown. But now it’s time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must, but then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. I won’t be far away, for life goes on. Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear all of my love around you loud and clear. And then, when you come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and say "welcome home.”
