HALLELUJAH!! Jabbar's funeral was last Friday. I am speechless. It was so powerful and spiritual!! The Church was packed!! About half of the attendees were young people, friends of Jabbar and the family. The whole service was so sweet and lovely and POWERFUL.

They had a "viewing" in another room and Jabbar looked so peaceful; then they closed the casket and brought him into the Church sanctuary. Every person was touched by the Holy Spirit!

The Bishop talked about how the money that came pouring in was MULTIPLIED miraculously so all the funeral expenses were paid for perfectly!! The Bishop was crying as he spoke. I can't tell you how glorious it was.

Jabbar's Mom looks much better. She, in fact, looked lovely. Jabbar's father was all sobered up and looking good in a nice suit. Jabbar's brother - the one who is a gang banger - showed up about a half an hour late with an attitude but as the service progessed I saw his countenance change until he looked quite handsome. (He's the one I think was meant for the bullet.)

The whole family is very good looking. Jabbar's send-off was really spectacular. It was an experience I will remember forever.

Our Bishop says he has such fond memories of Jabbar passing the Sacrament. Their Visiting Home Teacher told funny stories about Jabbar (but it was hard for folks to laugh but we tried our best).

After the trip to the cemetery everyone was invited back to the Church for a meal. We were all filled with God's LOVE!!!

Best part is the Bishop spoke about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all those kids were listening intently, as were we all. And the very best part is that we know for SURE that Jabbar is with Jesus and he's happy, peaceful and filled with GLORY. Hallelujah!!!!!!!

Thanks to all the FReepers for your prayers, love, and concern. For victory & freedom!!! Saundra
