Brother Romeo, I am awfully sorry to hear about the passing of your wife, Rose. She was one of a kind and one who deeply cared about her faith.
Whenever I met her in church and in our social gatherings she came across as a very spirited and very courageous person. Her courage and mettle was undeniably refreshing and highly estimable.
I know that the thoughts are no doubt overwhelming that nothing ever will quite be the same. I hope that the supreme memories of her love and care will live on in your heart and mind and heal every pain in your heart.
I pray for the Lords choicest blessings on you and your family at this difficult moment.
