It is true that God also needs good people to manage his work in heaven.
Otherwise why would He have called you all of a sudden?
He must have known that you are such a great person and can handle any situation. REST IN PEACE IVAN
Desire Luzinda, Singer
You will forever be remembered Ivan. RIP
More still coming in.....
