My Beloved Mother Dear, know that precious in the eyes of Our Lord is the death of His faithful servants and I solemnly call upon His Name to protect your precious soul... you being of his believing servants. You certainly enlightened me that if I follow Isa (Jesus) the Christ the blessing will be eternal life and that I shall never actually perish; and for that reason I pray to our Creator, The All-Knowing, that you receive such eternal life for being His servant as best you could. Mother, when you walk through fire I pray that you shall not be burned; that the flames shall not consume you, for our God, sayeth I AM THE HOLY SPIRIT above whom there is no other! None of us (human beings) liveth to himself or herself, and none of us dieth to himself or herself; for whether we live, we live unto our Lord; and whether we die, we die unto our Lord: whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Isa (Jesus) the Christ both died and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. As you emphasized many times, Mother Dear, our Lord sayeth: "...if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; where I am, there ye may also be. [A]nd whither I go ye know, and the way ye know". Just as in Adam all die, so too in Isa (Jesus) the Christ shall all be brought to life, but each in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at His coming, those who [belong] to Christ; ... . The last enemy to be destroyed is death! When everything is subjected to Him, then The Christ Himself will [also] be subjected to The One God who subjected everything to Him, so that that One God shall be All in all. There shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order shall have passed away. And, in closing, I pray that our God who raised the Lord Isa (Jesus) will raise us also with Isa (Jesus) and place us with Him in His Presence in a dwelling eternal in Heaven. Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to what is seen but to what is [unseen]; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is [eternal]. We do not see Isa (Jesus) [crowned with glory and honor] because He suffered death, He who [for a little while] was made lower than the Angels such that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering. ERGO, I do not want to be unaware, Mother Dear, about you having fallen asleep, for I do believe, as you have taught me to believe in my tender younger years of growing up, that Isa (Jesus) died and rose; and so too will All-Mighty God, through Isa (Jesus), bring with Him those who have fallen asleep. Amen. Love You Forever Mother Dear. Your Honorable Son, Cyr Maharajhalalhajjbaz Jones.

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. We will miss you grandma

My Auntie Serlema was a kind and loving person and I still remember the times I would spend at her home with my cousin Cyrus. She would always give us words of inspiration to do the right thing with our lives. You will be truly missed! Love you much, rest in God's peace! Your nephew Andre praying for the family to walk in God's purpose!
