It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we bid farewell to a remarkable woman Sister Enid Liecritia Gayle who touched our lives through our church’s outreach program. Although she was not a member of our congregation, her presence and impact were felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Today, we honor the life and memory of this exceptional lady.


We met Sister Gayle through our outreach program who we visit to distribute food, clothes toiletries, we restore houses  and other item where necessary but most of all  to pray with the people we meet.

Sister Gayle was one of those persons we gave food items to hence we got the name “The Rice Church” by her daughter Pastor McLeod who have become  our Auxiliary member which is a blessing in return for us therefore in our giving we also received a woman of God Pastor McLeod and a good friend to the Ministry Sister Gayle’s nephew Phillip. 

We remember her as a gentle presence, always donning a warm smile and radiating pure love. Our cherished friend, a beacon of light, she embodied the epitome of faith, compassion, and wisdom. 

Together, we shared hymns of praise, fervent prayers, and joyful celebrations her unwavering faith an inspiration to us all.  This was evident through her favorite songs “ Father I stretch my hands to thee” and “What a friend we have in Jesus”  and prayer time she insisted that we link hands to show unity and strength.   We remember the stories she shared It was very sad that she became a shut-in because she often spoke about when she use to go to church and her activities in church.

Even in her golden age she still had that beautiful voice and oh! We will certainly miss her hugs.  Her empathy knew no bounds, and her genuine concern for others became a testament to the boundless love that flowed from her heart.

Her wisdom was like a hidden treasure, gifted to the willing ears that sought counsel and guidance. She possessed an innate ability to dispense words of wisdom that struck the deepest chords within our souls. Her profound insight and unwavering faith served as a light in times of darkness, instilling hope and fortitude within us.

. Hers was a voice that carried the echoes of generations past, reminding us of the beauty of our shared history and the hope that it held for our future.

But while we mourn the loss of her physical presence, we must remember that her spirit lives on amongst us. Her legacy woven within the fabric of our church’s identity, she continues to inspire and encourage us to embrace the values that she held so dear which is pray without ceasing and give God thanks.

As we bid farewell today, let us not mourn her passing but celebrate the life she so ardently and devotedly lived. Let us cherish the memories we created together, knowing they will forever be etched in our hearts. May her spirit remain an eternal reminder that, though she may be gone from this earthly realm, her love and grace will never be forgotten.

In the spirit of unity and everlasting devotion, let us honor our dear Sister Gayle’s continuing to foster the loving environment she so ardently encouraged.  May we carry her light forward, spreading her enduring legacy of compassion and unwavering faith to future generations.

To the extender family we say be reminded that in Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and serves the crushed in spirit”.  And Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted”.

Rest in peace,  our dear sister in Christ  Your memory will forever live on in our hearts. In this sorrowful time, we once again extend to you our heartfelt  condolences. May our Lord comfort you and your loved ones in this tough time in your life, may our friendship, sympathy and heartfelt condolence bring you comfort.

God bless you all
