    With reference to the death notice of Mrs Merlina Adora Estwick in the Sunday Sun dated 17 February 2019, I wish to offer my deepest sympathy.

    Few things cause more stress or heartache than the death of a mate, parent, sibling, relative, or dear friend.

    A strong belief in a loving God brings comfort, The Bible says at Psalm 34:15 “ Jehovah listens to their cry for help.”

    Expressing our feelings in prayer to God is more than good therapy or a means of organizing our thoughts. It actually helps to establish a personal relationship with the Creator, who can use his power to comfort us.

    I sincerely hope that this brief note will be of some practical help during the grieving process.

    Those we love don’t go away. They are walking with us every day and every moment of our lives- unseen and unheard but always near. Still loved, still cherish, still missed by all. Deepest condolences from Eusteen (Velda) Alleyne’ nee Haynes and her family.
