For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 This is our blessed hope that one day soon we will see our loved ones again. When Jesus steps out and calls all of his children home.

Lena (Mummy) entered my life in 1996 when I married her son Dexter. Dexter was mummy’s greatest gift to me.

For the better part of 17 years, I watched my mother-in-law get through everything life handed her. She smiled at the future and with words of wisdom encouraged others to reach their potential.

Mummy, you were a woman of virtue who did more than her duty. You never complained. You had a willing hand and an active mind, anxious to please. In you home I did not have to lift a finger and when you visited mine, you made me put my feet up.

You were an example of persistence, courage, faith, hope and love and I was privileged to have had you as my mother-in-law.

There was no time to say goodbye when you were called home. We miss you dearly and as you continue to rest in the Lord till we meet to part no more,


Adieu! Sun re o! Rest in peace

I have never known you to ever raise your voice to anyone or say anything negative about any person. These were some of your gifts of your truly gentle nature. I never told you that I loved you, now it's too late. Good night Aunty Lena and Rest in eternal peace at the side of our Lord.

Aunty Lena, my Aunty Lena. So many many special memories of you during my life. One of my precious is, being with you whilst visiting Acre Lane, you cooking and me watching, just keeping you company and Chatting.

You taught me how to make cornmeal dumplings and shape them correctly, a small portion but great memories for me. With an unconscious smile on my face, I think to myself, if I had to name a child, she'd be named Acre Lane, once I married Mr Cornmeal Dumpling.
