We met them twice, what a lovely couple! So focussed on supporting the congregation and Jehovah's organisation. It is easy to see why they are so loved, and why everyone went to a huge amount of effort to give them a good send off!
The party was held in the garden/pool at the apartments where we stay. A sister, who was a party planner in a previous life, arranged for different ones to bring food and some provided decorations, drinks, flowers etc. and set everything up beautifully.
It was a gorgeous day! A local sister, who is an artist, painted two paintings for everyone to write messages on. These were given to the couple at the end of the party.
We enjoyed a feast of some amazing foods! Stew chicken, pulled beef, gumbo, chicken wings, beans, rice, coriander rice, salads ... Cinnamon buns, black cake, banoffee pie, pineapple etc etc etc. We have never eaten so well!! (Or so much!)
We feel really privileged to have been part of this farewell!
The beautiful venue! |
