He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.
All these things are gone forever.

Bornest, a young orphan woman in the community of Kericho, Kenya was my friend. She died over the weekend and was laid to rest yesterday.
In her short life on earth, Bornest touched many and I've learned that her life was mirrored in the words the people shared at her funeral. Though the rain fell heavily on that day, many people showed up to say goodbye and to pay their last respects. Bornest loved life and people and it was evident in her touching send off.
Pastor Jonah shared these photos of her going home celebration. The photos capture the order of their funerals which is:
- removing the body from the funeral home
- taking the body home
- talks & speeches
- preaching
- final farewell.
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
