Na Lydia Yenban Swife Tanwani

A full life, punctuated by a brief illness and a peaceful passing surrounded by
family, is the simplicity with which she lived and died. Na Lydia - our mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend has gone to be with the LORD.
​

2nd Cor 5:8: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from
the body, and to be present with the Lord.
