A gentle,loving father and grandfather has also been summoned to appear before the majestic tremendous throne of Almighty God to give a detailed account of his stewardship here on earth in order that he may receive his everlasting portions of a ceaseless outpouring of mercies from the hands of the Great Master of Creation.Here today, gone tomorrow, such is the inevitable fate of man and it is truly a mysterious blessing bestowed upon us by our maker and not an eerie curse as some have dared to suggest.
Flowers bloom and fade away but their pollen get transported by the industrious winds to far away lands where once again by the grace,and inspiration of our benevolent God they are carefully instructed to bloom into different biological species of splendor once again. Angels West,East.North,and South we ask that you diligently watch over one of our own and grant him a smooth and peaceful transition – Alhaji Minuri Alusine Savage may the generosities,favors and abundant mercies of our merciful Creator ALLAH AZZAWAJAL never depart from you – Rest in perfect Peace and keep on blooming,and blossoming forever in the tranquility of Eternal Bliss.
