We got some sad news a few days ago from Pastor Herbert, the pastor who brought us a wedding cake from Tanzania. A couple days after he got back to Korogwe, his son, Frank, unexpectedly passed away in a tragic car accident. Frank was married to Lulu and they have two kids, Emmy and Alan. You may remember from my blogs, Herbert’s daughter in law coming every day to help prepare amazing meals for us. That was Frank’s wife. Frank was out of town when we were there, so unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet him. We had heard from Alan and Shannon and others that he was a great guy – full of love for God with an infectious laugh and smile. We don’t know why things like this happen, but we find comfort knowing he is in the presence of God, who he loved so much.
George and I will be going to Korogwe , Tanzania Tuesday afternoon along with George’s mom. If there are no travel delays, we will arrive there on Wednesday night and plan to stay a couple days. The burial was today, but we are still going to go to offer our love and support to this family who is so devastated. Please pray for Herbert and Emily, Frank’s wife and kids and all the other friends and family who are grieving his loss.
I will lift them up in prayer. How hard.
