He was hard working.

At his burial, the following was read by his family: Bro Willy, the news of your sudden death stunned us, it came like a bad dream, we never expected it. You could not say farewell to us, to your dear wife before passing away. Bro. Willy remember, all those promises, visions, prophecies and revelations. We cannot understand but we accept it in good faith. The LORD gave the LORD has taken away. Job.1:21
Cloud rises upon cloud, storm upon storm. As with job, one messenger of woe was quickly succeeded by another, burdened with tidings of yet heavier sorrow. So has it been with our family in recent years. God even if all of us should die, we will not stop serving you. Where else can we find protection if not you?
Many may claim the power of life and death, but only When God permits. If God permits, then it is the perfect will of God. For all things work together for good for them that love God and those He has called to His purpose.
The death of a righteous man is not an accident. They, then, who are destined to die need not inquire about what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.
For those who trust in Christ Jesus, death is not a sheriff dragging them off to court, but a servant ushering them into the presence of a loving lord.
