Dear Martha, family. Sorry to hear about Demeke, changed his address to heaven. But better in the presence of our Lord. I pray comfort strength as you go through grief. My deepest condolences. May Shaheen. I am thankful for you, your walk in Christ, your kindness care for others.

I met this wonderful family through work when they came to Fort Wayne. The amount of courage it took to do what they did. They came to my place of business frequently and we all got to know them and some of their children.

My world was a better place because I got to know them.
