John Stephen David
My Friend, My Mentor, My Popsie

I heard with shock and sadness
That John passed away
yesterday morning 5th July
After slipping into a coma
A few days before.

Esther, his wife, had to
comfort me?!
Reminding me that
NOW, John can walk again
& in great company of
the saints and best of all
in His Saviour's presence.

John David,
whom I affectionately call 'Popsie',
was like a spiritual father to me.

I was blessed with the privilege
of having the both of them
sharing some part of their lives
with me, and
though I was not
given away by John,
I was 'married away'
from their home.

They stood in as the groom's parents
when his were unable to come
and sang "sunrise, sunset"
at our reception.

When my marriage was
disintegrating
He called up to ask me
to pack my bags
to 'go home' to UK
that a room is always ready....

A true disciple of Christ,
he would always encourage us
to seek answers from the Bible
and not just base on
his understanding of the word.

Thank you Lord
for blessing us
with beautiful, happy
Memories
for allowing us the privilege
to know and share the company
of one of your disciples.

Praise you Lord
for Popsie is finally healed
Totally, completely
and pain free...

It's hard to say good bye
But in Christ we have
this assurance
that we will meet again.
Until then....

I shall miss Popsie dearly.
