Cousin Selina, Even though you are gone away,
Your love will always be here to stay.
You touched our hearts with so many things.
God knew you were in pain,He took you home to get some rest,
Even though we loved you best.
When you told me you were trusting God in this journey and that He had given you another year and you are rejoicing I did not think this was the journey. Fare thee well my dear cousin and rejoice with the Angels. I will forever cherish the little moments we shared.
May God comfort you Patrick, Emanuel, Timothy n Grace and give you strength.

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
