29 Jan 2010 – Diane Leiker from Colorado, U.S.A.

My deepest condolences to the family of Mrs. Azariah. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting this warm and congenial sister in Christ in December of 2007. I was linked to her in Love and the Spirit of God immediately. If I could have stayed in India, she would have been an invaluable mentor to me. A bright light for Christ has gone out here on earth to be sure but I know that her light will continue to shine bright through the legacy that she left her family here on earth.
