Aunty, you have triumphed over pain and worries, your labour on earth is not in vain for you have left indelible marks on the sands of time.
You have fought the good fight, finished the race and none can deny you the victory crown.

Dear Etudor family:
Take comfort in knowing Sarah has the hope of living again in Paradise on earth when there will be no more crime, sickness or death- only peace, righteousness, and perfect health! Jehovah – “the God of all comfort” assures us of this. John 5:28, 29, Psalms 37:9-11 and 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
