Gwendoline Burke (nee Martin) 03/07/1934–28/04/2021

What a wonderful life lived Ma. You were an inspiration for us all in the way you lived your life for the Lord, cared for others, thought of others before yourself, you were thankful for everything you had, and you never complained about a thing. I pray that your legacy lives on in Gwendoline’s. How I miss you every single day, you will never be forgotten. I love you Ma 🩷

A double rainbow over Gwendoline’s after a tremendous storm.
Genesis 9:12-15 is a promise from the Lord to never destroy all life on earth again by flooding. It is also a sign of God’s faithfulness, mercy, and grace towards mankind.
Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace 🙌🏻
