THE FAMILY OF MURDERED WOOLWICH SOLDIER PAY TRIBUTE

WOOLWICH 3WOOLWICH 2The family of Drummer Lee Rigby…the soldier who was murdered at Woolwich on Wednesday afternoon paid him tribute yesterday, amidst much tears.
This story is so painful and hard for me to report because it will never make any sense to me why this fine soldier was cut down so brutally by lunatics who claim they were doing this in the name of Allah!
Lee Rigby, I know your beautiful soul is resting in the bosom of our beautiful Lord Jesus. I never met or knew you but I mourn and grieve deeply with your family at your untimely passing. As a mother, wife and sister, I understand the vacuum your death has left in your family’s hearts.
Rest in perfect peace.
