Obituary of Anna Toews

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:1-3 NKJV) Anna departed this life to her Father's room prepared for her, on March third from Emmanuel Village, in her ninety-third year.
