Corinavirus is taking a toll on the people of this country but its a pity we are not being told the truth about the scourge and other ailment. Every death that happens in the country now is attributed to coronavirus. Maralia and the rest of other similar ceases have been relegated to the background and are no more killing people. Its only coronavirus that kills these days
May his soul rest in peace….
This is saddened, may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
This COVID-19 of a thing has taken many lives in, may Almighty God comfort the family.
This is a great loss to their family may Almighty God grant them fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
That’s God for you, may he not let our joy turn to sorrow one. May God forgive his sin and grant him eternal rest.
