I was sorry to read of Mrs. Issa’s passing. She was a devoted mother to her brilliant children. She and her family are in my prayers.
Dear Lord, you are the sovereign King, who looks over His children, calling us all home to be with you when you know the time is right. Lord we do not always understand your ways but Father we can trust in your timing in all things; for you Lord, made all things for the glory and purpose of your will.
Lord we thank you for the life Aunty Emily. We thank you for the woman she was and we thank you, Lord, for the ways you used her here on Earth.
Father, we pray you would be the source of comfort for her family and friends now in our time of mourning. Lord we pray that you would be strength and guide to all those who are hurting and Lord the healer to the wounds which are being felt. Lord, we pray you would fill the loneliness, heal the wounds and grow us all in light of the loss of Aunty Emily.
Thank you Lord for all the gracious years you gave Aunty Emily, may she now have found comfort and rest in your heavenly home.
Amen
Emily touched the hearts of many and will be dearly missed. May God bless you.
You never said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place,
That no one will ever fill
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you,
The Day God Called You Home.
We never got to meet or do what Auntie’s and Niece’s do but forever I will love you and my Aunty you will be.
Love always to you, Uncle Bassam and the Issa family.
a wound unmended –
you and I.
We had no ending,
no said goodbye;
For all my life,
I’ll wonder why.
May you rest in peace.
Love you my sister.
A lady gone today. You will be missed by the whole family. Rest in peace

To the Issa family, be a pillar of strength through this hard time and be comfortable with the knowledge that Aunty is with the Lord.
Much love to all from Sydney, Australia.
May God Receive her with open arms
She is in a better place now 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Emily will be missed by everyone she touched. Rest in peace.
