A Tribute to Jemima

Dear  Jemima,

We will miss you on this side of the eternity! 

Your name had been carved on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into all of our minds and the stories they share about you. 

We remember you growing up from a small cute baby to a butterfly around us and to what you were until today morning. Your calm courageous stature, strong statements that you made on every Sunday School presentations are always fresh in us, including those at the shadow play last a few days ago. 

'Jemima', she is a pearl in hearts, as she was always; it is too difficult to accept the sudden lose of dear Jemima. We at Anna Nagar, Chennai (STECI) are deeply in pain as we lost her this morning on road as let her soul depart for her eternal home. STECI family has no words to console the dear family of Liju and Jeena, other than to intercede and request you to join us in upholding them.

I quote a few of our friends' quick impressions about her here...

“Sunday school board lost a brilliant and dedicated student of God's word. It was really a shocking news. I am sure our dear Jemima is with her loving everlasting father. Our payers are with Liju and Jenna. Hearty condolences”   - Rev.P.T. Mathew

Jemima with her Sunday school friends and teachers

"A beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. Who had wonderful talent and capabilities

No words can console my heart and no number of reasons can make me forgive.

But i will not doubt because Gods ways and plans are higher than ours. So I pray for her family with a heavy heart. And i hope the Lord Almighty will bestow on them the strength both physical and mental. Rest in peace JEMIMA. You were loved and will be loved forevermore".      - Nicky Alice

Dear Liju and Jeena, 

Couldn't  believe when Philipose Vaidyar called me and told me about the demise of Jemima. I've 'no words to console you but only pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you with His love, hope and faith in His love. I am not able to be with you at he funeral service but my prayers are for you. May the peace of God which is beyond our understanding guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ.

Jemima's work- hanging on the wall
