Mochets, you showed us that true self-accomplishment is derived from selflessness anchored in Christ. Although called to the afterlife at such a young age, you have left a community that saw the hand of God through interaction with you. We shall forever remember you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, kept in heaven for you. 1 Peter 1:3-4
