Agatha lived next to my parents at Bethany Villa. We called each other, sister.. i continued to visit Agatha after my parents passed away. She loved to sing hymns and pray with me. She would always say,”You know I will tell you something very important, Gott ist die liebe’”. She was always telling people about her Savour, Jesus! How she loved Jesus! Her greatest desire was for God to take her home to Jesus. Now she is there, worshiping Him face to face. I am so grateful for the example of her faith.
