dinner time member february please that is something that she always says to me i'm i will miss her on our long conversations going into kingston on mondays and on fridays her correction was stern but

there are few things i remember about sister david gabriel [Music] when we met her she was a very shy young lady very shy and when we are on this place with her we realize that she don't talk much and i can say that's me and brother herman hall many of you don't know him so we to start to give her trouble and we know that she was shy so we first started to hug her and all you're here and saying brother campbell brother can't be brother left me let me know let me know and that was our ways out and when we get to her for a time then she started to run from us and when she keeps running from us we start to run her down because we realized that she was shy and we started to run our dog and when we catch her brother hollywood holder and the left hand and i hold her on the right and we try to hug her try to hug her and all she's doing she's just laughing brother campbell brother harlow left me i mean i run mean i play left me and that you know she can't deal with that type of behavior until we become friends and we were there with daisy and daisy but we realized that she never get upset she never get upset she was a young lady with good principle very good behavior she was in the rough time but she was very shy and you couldn't push her own either she was independent and we watched this young lady grow in this church and she was a very beautiful great good student in her sunday school she's one never give trouble in sunday school she was there independent listen take part in sunday school and they continue on until she become a member of the young people choir now i can tell you about daisy and that she wasn't one that gave trouble in this church she was a young lady that be and this choir with good principle good behavior i was outfitter then and all of us we never called her in question one time all the ministers she go through never call her in question one time for any unruliness this was a great girl showed a loving person because of that i know and believe that she gained the love of our brothers and sisters in this church especially the young people they love her because she was a very great young lady and when you think of a young lady to grown up into a community and environment like we do and our behavior was extremely good and we can speak well about that young lady she become a teacher she began to teach sunday school she teach the basic schools down there and she become [Music] a teachers daisy was a great girl she was great great young lady full of energy she never gave trouble i mean we did love her until she grown up and i tell you something when when she read this point that we heard that she was engaged to brother maris i personally went to her one day and i said daisy your turn woman no you are you know shy again and all she do she just keep laughing all day they always do laughing but she was a great young lady grown up in this church in this environment we have no problem with her i could tell up to the time of nearby our debt i was i came in one morning right there just a couple weeks before i leave out to florida and i saw her sitting right over that young lady sit there and i went over to her licking her shoulder daisy and she looked at me brother come who are you troubled before you know that's the way we live and that's the way she lived with everybody in this church i believe that and because of that daisy is i was a person who we could depend upon and she grow in this church and she gets a profession and she masters everything she do everything that you tell days if you do in that in those days she's willing and grab it and go with it so she was a great young lady without question she was when i was in florida just a few days ago and when i get the news that daisy died here that she went to our bed and don't wake up in the morning to see the glaze of the morning sun it was a sad thing but god knows best god knows best for daisy and i will take this opportunity to say to us let us see to uh that we love each other let us see to that we live good because it's going to be one last morning one last night one last day let us live and love one another may her soul rest in peace [Music] [Music] shall we praise the lord shall we lift up the name of the lord god is great and greatly to be praised let us bless his holy name let me say thanks to sister maxine wright and sister terry scorey and brother daniel campbell for carrying out their respective tasks so ably praise god praise god scripture reminds us that precious in the sight of the lord is the death of his saints there is a great sense of joy that sister desi morris finish her race and is in the presence of the lord whom she serves faithfully for so many years may his soul rest in peace at this time [Music] coming to do the remembrance is sister colleen feron followed by a special item which will be done by the former youth group and immediately after the youth groupers finish their items we will be having the sermon which will be done by our host bishop bishop james small please come in that order a pleasant good day to everyone on behalf of my family and myself i would like to extend sincere condolences to the morris wright and gabriel family words seem so inadequate in times like this but we'll continue to pray for you now i'll be taking i'll be looking at sister daisy's life in church basically we have heard from others about outside so we're going to look at the roshi played within this body ecclesiastes 3 1 and 2 states to everything there is a season a time for every purpose under heaven a time to born to be born a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted there is only one person who knows when our appointment with death will take place the creator himself daisy morris neil gabriel became a member of the maypen new testament church in 1974. the year was significant in that it was a year she committed her life to the lord and also the year in which she was baptized daisy soon found her niche in the church circle she was selected to be a member of the youth choir where a rich outer voice blended with the other voices to make the maypen youth choir want to be feared in our competitive days daisy was also active in junior sunday school and vacation bible school in the early days she was a no-nonsense teacher and students knew that yet the love still shone through of us will remember when she used to move through the aisles under the anointing of the holy ghost it was always for a special reason and we often watched in in 1984 the first of december to be exact daisy married the love of her life luca and maurice the same night she was whisked off to kingston where she resided a number of years however she did not lose touch with her maypen church family ironically ours are made of honor then and today i'm doing this remembrance on behalf of the church for her that's weird when sister daisy returned to reside in maypay she did not remain idle but soon became involved in several activities they are as follows she worked as one of the teachers for the havana heights outreach sunday school for about two years here she enthusiastically used her educational skills to impact her students positively she continued her work in vbs at napan church as auntie daisy for children time in family training hour her bonding with children was again on display she was a teacher of one of the adult sunday school class over the last few years sister daisy's punctuality was something to emulate in this area her ability to break down the lesson for students to understand allowed students to wait eagerly for her teaching on a sunday morning there is a saying that states once a teacher always a teacher this applied to sister daisy morris up to the time of her death daisy served as a member of the maypen new testament couple's ministry in the capacity of assistant secretary she carried out her tasks efficiently participating in meetings and contributed in whatever way she could brothers and sisters i've enlightened you on the role of sister morris as a member of this church please permit me a few minutes to look at daisy as a person based on feedback from some of the young people then in the early days some of the young men thought that she was selfish when i asked why i was informed that she kept them at bay when they tried to socialize with her seems brother lukeland morris was the only one who knew how to break down the barriers but then he was coming from kingston so he had the techniques although some person felt that she was reserved once you got to know her you would find that she's a con congenial individual who showed concern about others she loved family and spoke frequently about them she was a spiritually disciplined woman of god who loved the lord and endeavoured to live upright we know that her labor for the lord was not in vain sister daisy morris is no longer with us physically but our memory will live on forever in our hearts rest in peace my sister and listen for the trumpet god bless you all [Music] praise god praise god we will be known be of in the youth group with their items will you please come foreign group [Music] okay okay i understand that they are not here now okay i got you okay [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] hey [Music] is [Music] every day [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] is oh [Music] [Music] [Music] service and great contribution from our dear sister daisy gabriel mars in so many ways and so when we learned of our passing we really consider this to be a great loss it has been a great loss to us as a church family i want to use this opportunity in extending this tribute to our brother lukeland morris and his family to let you know that ever since the passing of sister daisy our heart goes out for you in so many ways we continue to keep you in our prayers our thoughts and we will always be praying much for you we know it's very difficult it's hard you are very quiet unassuming person you may not express it in the emotional way that others would but deep down you are hurting so we will continue to let you know that over time god will bring you healing and strength and courage as i said we know it's very challenging it's difficult but rest assured you are not alone the church family will continue to give you as much support and to love you the way god has taught us to love i know that the wider church family would have loved to be here just to pay that last tribute i know that yes but this pandemic has caused us to have to be doing things in very creative ways so some are watching the service by our social medias some are expressing their tributes in whatsapp groups some have done that in our virtual prior meetings and we will continue to find creative ways to just let you know that we care for you i have had my own experience of meeting sister daisy and what lives with me is her love for her family is her care for family it's how she would have spoken up for family and that for me is very profound i challenge all of us amidst the challenges and we are amidst all of the difficulties that we will have in life just remember we have one life and it will soon be passed and only what is done for christ will last let us use this time to love each other and not just to say we love but to demonstrate that love by telling each other i love you by showing that love in various ways don't wait until persons are passed on and then we cry and we will say things that we would have want to say every day that we have that opportunity every day that we have that you know privilege let us demonstrate that love to each other i know our sister is gone to be with the lord yes that's pleased the law to take her and i know we would ask the lord many questions why at this time nor couldn't you have lent or even one more day could you have given us one more year but god is suffering he is the one who gave her to us and he has taken her and we say bless to be the name of the lord my prayers are with you and i know our soul is resting in the arms of the lord god bless you i'd like to just encourage your hearts from the word of god and i find it it's very challenging as pastor sometimes to just to be there for family in these very challenge trying times but as i sought the lord and he gave me this verse of scripture that i want to leave with you brother lukeland and their children and extended family members church family is taken from first peter chapter 5 and verse 7. and i knew from the king james version it reads like this casting all your care upon him for he care it for you when i read it from the amplified bible it says casting the all of your care all your anxieties all your worries all your concerns once and for all on him for he cares for you affectionately and care about you watchfully let us pray father breathe upon this word and bless it to our hearts and let everyone who hears it believe it and be blessed in jesus name amen the thought is he jesus cares about your cares he cares about your troubles your anxieties your worries your frustrations your problems he cares one songwriter says it like this oh yes he cares i know he cares his heart is touched with my grief when the days are wary the long night's dreary i know my savior care grief and pain and lust is never easy thing for human being to go through psychologists will tell you about the five stages of grief how first you deny what has happened then you get angry about what has happened you bargain about the the challenges that you go through you go through depression and finally you will come to acceptance i don't know where you are today maybe you are still denying it you are still asking is this so but i want to tell you that jesus care jesus he cares about your cares when i speak of your cares what am i talking about i want to talk about the anxieties of life the troubles of life yes we are told that in this world we will have trouble but jesus said we have good creature i have overcome i have overcome the world cares about family cared about finances and the future personal health the health of others we worry and we have cares about the world's condition especially in this global pandemic about the hunger the war the poverty yes we are in a world of many years but god wants us to cast them upon him that word means to throw them on him and note is how the amplified bible puts it it says it's not that we shall just do it but we do it with a sense of not taking it back once and for all oh glory to god we put that here upon the lord because he cares for us lovingly affectionately and watchfully can i tell you brother lukeland that ever since this has happened god has kept his eyes on you even more intentionally yes sometimes you wonder where are you god in all of this but he says to let you know i have never left you i promise never to leave you nor to forsake you and so in this time of cares i want you to understand it all because there's a cause not only that we look at the cares but we look at the cause the cause what is the cause of our cares it goes back to sinful humanity it goes back to not trusting god it goes back to the challenges that comes to this um sin curse and perverse world but i challenge you today to let us use this opportunity let us use this opportunity my brothers and sisters to try cast our anxiety our worries our troubles on the lord note according to saint luke chapter 12 29 and seek not what you shall eat or what you shall drink neither what you uh neither he of the doubtful mind in other words sometimes our doubtful disposition and attitude is what dishonors god but i want us to know that many who deny his providence at this time they question where are you god what is happening to me but i know what god spoke to the apostle paul to tell the church at rome as he encouraged them to walk in the spirit and to live a life that is directed by the spirit lord what he says in verse 28 and we know hallelujah that all things even the death of your loved one that all things work together for the good of them that love the lord and to those who are called according to his purpose oh what good can come out of a lost what good can come out of the pain of losing my loved one what good but god said i am the one that is working it for your good for i here for you oh somebody praise the lord but not only that we must focus on the troubles of life and i'm glad that we will not stop there for if it was in this life only that we have hope we would have been men and women most miserable not only that we must focus on the cause of these cares but thank god they're the cure they're the cure they are the cure for all the cures of life in other words even though we are here celebrating and thanking god for sister and in the pain that comes with that oh i want you to know there is a cure also for that and that she has been taken out of a world of pain and sorrow and war i noticed in the text that i read in first peter in first peter chapter five yes and verse 7 i want you to notice that the verse that precedes that provide a part of the cure that we need according to verse 6 of that text it says humble yourself therefore under the mighty hand of god that he may exalt you in due time ah and then the word says casting your tears upon him for he care for you the first thing that we may have to do in experiencing the cure that god provides is submission submitting by faith under the mighty hand of god god is calling us to our a time of submission a time of of reverence a time of really um what we call respecting him and reverence to him but not only that we must submit to him we must cast our cares upon him oh glory to god throw your anxiety upon him yes place them upon him why because he can angle it he can be touched with the feelings of your infirmities yes he knows when you are hurting he knows when you are sad he knows when you are depressed and you get wary but he says to tell you yes jesus cheers the songwriter asks it in a question does jesus care when my heart is pain too deeply for merch a song as the burden pressed and the cure the press the way grow weary and longer but he answers it oh yes he cares hallelujah i know he cares his heart is touched with my grief when the days are wary oh glory to god and the long night's dreary i know my savior here brother lukeland family friends yes remember jesus cares and he wants us to demonstrate the fact that he cares through our own instrumentality i've talked about this and even in this very difficult time and i've encouraged the church family to find creative ways to tell their loved ones their brethren that we are still caring for each other yes we may not be able to org we cannot touch you know we cannot have this type of encounters you know we are told to social distance we are told to do all of these things but there are still ways we can show we care send a message send a word a voice no tell somebody that you still care for them i close on the note that i know it becomes our own personal conviction as to why we should care for each other why is it that we are encouraged to to to take the vaccination or to um to take that vaccination so we can protect ourselves and protect each other i have taught about it and i have found somewhere to encourage myself and to encourage you that it is one of the ways of showing that we love each other the word of god says we are our brother's keeper we are neighbors and in order for us to be neighborly in order for us to be caring for one another to demonstrate the care that god has for us he wants us to protect ourselves and to protect each other so let's show somebody that god cares call somebody send a voice done to somebody do the right things so that we can always continue to demonstrate the love of god the caring jesus is saying to you today i care for you i love you god bless you i know there are maybe persons listening are watching that you have not experienced the love of god you have not experienced the caring love of god but here's another opportunity for you to cast your troubles upon him cast your sins upon him cast all those anxieties your doubts upon him for he cares for you let us pray father one more time i thank you thank you for this word and thank you for the assurance that you are the caring lord i thank you lord for the family of our brother brother lukelan and his family lord i thank you that you are caring for them and you will continue to care for them but lord most importantly today there are persons who have not yet experienced your loving care lord they

with mixed feeling i was thinking that if i was to do something i would do the rememberance because daisy and i coming from not far about four we were friends before we got married we used to visit each other we planned our weddings together we got married three weeks apart um there's a married desmond so she had desmond daisy dennis and desland i married danny so we have danny donna darian derrick and danica so coincidentally just continue with the d daisy was born the 17th of october i was born the 19th of october so we had a lot of things in common in common and we were good friends very very good friends so i'm just going to indulge you just for a few minutes as i read eulogy eulogy for the late daisy sylvia gabriel morris softly the leaves of memory fall gently we gather and treasure them all unseen on earth you are always near so missed so loved so very dear there's the sylvia gabriel morris came into this life on the 17th day of october in the year 1956 in the district of unicorn grantham in our in upper clarendon she was the first of two girls born to avis and edgar gabriel this re received our early education at maplin primary school then move on to the then map and secondary to complete our formal education daisy spent her early childhood days living with relatives in grantham because her parents migrated to england their stay was not very long was not a very long one so soon daisy joined them when they returned and settled at howard avenue where she lived until she got married daisy was a very industrious young lady she got her skills from her parents who were entrepreneurs especially her mother mother gabriel was an always an excellent cook and make wonderful pastries these skills daisy learned to the tea so she would drop her hands in those christmas christmas cakes and sweet potato pudding she baked daisy was was conscious of the fact that there was a god she was also conscious of the fact that she needed a savior so in 1974 she accepted jesus christ as lord and savior and became a member of the maple new testament church of god there she served until the time of her death as a teenager she was a member of the youth choir until she got married she had a very melodious alter voice and she prided herself in singing at numerous competitions that saw the maypen youth choir coming out on top she was also a sunday school teacher in both the upper sorry the lower and upper department of the sunday school like many young persons daisy dreamt of one day falling in love getting married and having a family and surely love did come our way when she met lukeland morris we know as brother desmond desmond was a love of her life and i can bet you didn't know that for daisy desmond was her lookie d she would often tell me that loki d did this look he did that not to mention when she was celebrating his achievement at the end of the conversation would say am i looking at you that you are you leave him alone you would see the expression of satisfaction on her face this endes man got marred on the 1st of december 1984 36 years of long and lasting love the union produced two sons dennis and deslan daisy's marriage to desmond not only saw her taking on the new role of a wife and mother but she also had to move away from family and friends to live in kingston where her husband worked but she didn't mind one bit to daisy family meant a lot she would celebrate the achievements of her husband or sons when they achieved cxes or completed university she celebrated her sisters their nieces our in-law and other relatives it is noted that daisy could tell her connection from her father or mother's side who is related to grammar who who is a donkly who is avon who is a gabriel so so that makes them her family i noticed this was one of the things she and her sister maxine had in common no in the family tree when maxine did the tracing she would hand it nicely and say yes we are cousins we are related desert would end our story saying enough away the family beginner i was taken aback when one of our batch made from university inquired of her mother i asked she know your mother she replied oh me talk about my mother everyone know her my and my mother that you are a one mother may have i may love my mother she loved her family even though her extended family was so big she wanted more siblings she said mean i have no brother only one sister but donna you and my sister and la honey and ponzi are my sisters too oh no always there for me i was a sister indeed because on more than one occasion i was asked are you one of mrs graber's daughter some places we go together they would ask are you are you sisters but i think the competition was between annie and i and it was our favorite sister-in-law

you couldn't make it but just be strong for the lukelan and the rest of the family it's a road we all have to travel and you know you know my favorite verse when it comes to death is job 14 verse 5. seeing that our moments are determined our months are numbered by thee and though has set a bond and it cannot pass speaking about god and so none of us knew where sister diaz's bond was so it takes us by surprise but god is not surprised he knows exactly where the bond goes and once you reach it you can't pass and you cannot pass it before you reach it so just be strong i know it's hard because recently i went through similar situation but god knows i'm going to ask those who are not family members just to stand with me and the family members really mean seated lord we cannot thy purpose see but all is well that is done by thee we did not know that sister deiser would be taken away suddenly but it's not a surprise to you because you knew exactly when the end would have been you know when

glorious hope that if we so live for you one day we'll meet again we will part no never help them lord to be strong in you and in the power of your might help them lord to realize that all is not lost because you have given her a long life here on earth longevity and more than all you have given to her eternal life so we thank you lord for the good you have done for taking her out of her pains out of her sorrow out of her misery and whatever she passed through lord she will never suffer again she'll never feel pains again she'll never be sad again lord she's resting in peace so help us lord to be prepared to meet that day when we reach our bone that you will help us to cross jordan just like you helped sister days and nobody know the direct or when she died but you know and you planned it
