Word for the day “In loving memory of Phylicia MOORE”
Phylicia Moore
Today's message is written by my Beloved friend and Sister Lola Moore of Teaneck, New Jersey.
In Tribute and memory of her Darling daughter. Phylicia Moore who was taken from her while on a school trip to Ghana W. Africa.
Phylicia was born on Easter Sunday, March 26, 1989. She had a quiet gentle spirit, was intelligent and had a beautiful smile. She was an honor student and looked forward to college and dreamed of becoming a Journalist. She died on April 15, 2007, on a High School sponsored mission trip, to Ghana, W. Africa. She lost her life the first night the group arrived in the country. Phylicia was found at the bottom of the hotel swimming pool, fully clothed. The travel group offered disinformation and speculative tales of last seeing our daughter leaving the pool to go to her room that fateful night. The school Administrators, students, and their parents closed ranks in silence. There was a 3yr investigation that concluded that our daughter never left the group. No substantive conclusions or answers at all!
Knowing exactly what happened will not heal the pain and longing in our hearts. As we turn to God, pray and wait for answers; we take some comfort in the outpour of love and support we continue to receive from those who knew our daughter and sister, and those God has placed in our lives since losing her. We are grateful to God for blessing us with her short life, and for the blessing of those who strengthen us - with their love, prayers, and support in celebration of our Angel’s life. To God be the Glory! Although she is gone, she will never be forgotten.! We celebrate your life Phylicia our precious Angel! God Bless you Pastor Baker, Lady Robin, and Grace and Truth Leadership Family. Phylicia’s Parents and Brother, Douglas, Lola, and Christopher Moore.
As a leadership organization, we stand with special families as the “Moore” family. We are here for them and have a heart for them, and a place for them. We want to encourage them today with the words of Apostle Paul and Jesus in times of grief and mourning: “We sorrow but not as those who have no hope” (I Thessalonians 4:13). Sometimes it may feel like God wasn’t there when we needed Him most. That He was absent or that He made a bad call. But as Jesus said to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die” (John 11:25). Jesus will always be there for you all. The pain of loss is understandable, but our loss is not the end of the story. We shall see our beloved Phylicia again!!
Our King Cometh,
James Baker, Jr.
