Remembering

Daphne Malphina Ebilola Sawyerr Dunn

Silver Spring, Maryland

Jun 14, 1955 – Aug 7, 2007

As we wake up to the 7th day of August,
we re-live the events and emotions of the day you left us for eternity.
Ebi, words cannot describe the void your absence has created.
As much as we miss you, we know you are in a much better place.
As we reflect on the words of the hymn below.
we hope to find some degree of comfort.
Continue to Rest In Peace!

All the walls of that dear city
Are of bright and burnished gold:
It is matchless in its beauty
And its treasures are untold.

Chorus
O that I had wings of angels
Here to spread and heavenward fly!
I would seek the gates of Zion,
Far beyond the starry skies.

In the midst of that dear city
Christ is reigning on his seat.
And the angels swing their fenders
In a ring about his feet.
