I know the pain can\u2019t go away, so I\u2019m not going to say, \u2018Take away the pain\u2019, but I know God, in his infinite mercy, will comfort us to go on with life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The pain is profound; it hurts deeply. It is the deepest pain I have ever felt in my life. I am lost, but I pray, and I know God will comfort every one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the scenes below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n \n DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p> \n \n \n\n \n \n <\/div>![\"Wizkid](\"https:\/\/media.premiumtimesng.com\/wp-content\/files\/2023\/10\/Wizkid-and-late-mum.webp\")
