While delivering the burial sermon, Rev. Osundina thanked the children for taking care of their father during the times when he was ill but stressed the fact that paying him the last respect as children were very important and significant.
He enjoined them to retrace their steps by making amends wherever necessary.
He then suspended the usual outing and thanksgiving service which are final programmes in Christian’s burial, till the deceased’s children are available to attend.
