But not dad, he is always there with his tambourine singing and waiting for everyone. This continued everyday no matter where he was in the world till he transited into glory.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cGod help you if you have committed any offence the previous day, you would be the theme of the message that morning. That is one of the events that have shaped our lives\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">She continued: \u201cWith him there was no problem without a solution, he made even the most difficult things seem easy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cOur Dad was a good man, a loving husband and a very responsible father. He was a philanthropist to the core, always giving.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cDaddy loved Jesus Christ and preached the message of salvation and holiness till the end.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHe was an upright man, who spoke the truth at all times not minding the personalities involved.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe miss the sound of your voice, the many calls just to know if we were okay, the wisdom in your advice and the stories of your life while you were growing up.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cEvery time we think of you, the tears come streaming down. You were our father, our pastor, our mentor, our prayer warrior, our adviser all rolled into one.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cYour life was a Blessing, your memory a treasure we would cherish till our last breath<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cDaddy I love you, you have left a vacuum that is too great to be filled.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBut we do not grieve like those without hope, \u201cFor we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him\u201d 1 Thess 4:14.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe will always remember God\u2019s words that you taught us that have made us what we are today.
