The death of Mother Mrs. Betty Zonwulu SOE, has been seen as a ‘hard nut’ for many to swallow following her good life of legacy she lived during her earthly sojourn before departing this sinful World.

Mother Zonwulu SOE will hugely be remembered for caring love for not only her children or grandchildren but for everyone who knew her or may have come in contact with the deceased for the endless and inseparable love and care for all.

 Mrs. Betty Zonwulu Soe life on Earth speaks volume as lived beyond the biblical score mark of three scored plus ten years above the normal biblical human should live on earth, if faithfully speaking that is according to many biblical quotes from the Holy Bible.

Delivering the Funeral Discourse over the mortal remains of the late Mother Mrs. Betty Zonwulu, Pastor Jones Poeson of the St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church of Red-light, Paynesville, offered words of consolation to the bereaved family and urged them to take the death in good stride as Christian, because Ma Beth lived a life of good legacy and is lying in peace in heaven and they too should follow her good life, example on Earth.

Speaking on the theme: Live a Life of Legacy, with texts taking from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Pastor Jones told congregation, in attendance at the First Assembly of God Church on Buchanan & Carey Street, Central Monrovia, that Ma Beth was departing the shores of Earth in Peace to join her ancestors and by extension according to the belief of Christendom, has gone to be with the Lord.

Pastor Jones Poeson spoke profoundly on the need for the living to live a Christ-like life which, he said, entails caring for and sharing with the people. “Life is not just living it; it is also about what you do for others,” he said as a way accentuating the philanthropic nature of the deceased.
