“He made his mark. He was a very quiet man. A great achiever. Just to say that l will continue to identify with you. We will watch your progress.

“Your father has transited now to the spiritual realm and he will be watching you from there. Our prayer is that all the good things he planned to do which he did not accomplish on earth, you will do for him and for the community in Jesus Name.
