VESP is thankful and honoured to Livestream….The Homegoing Celebration of Nanna Salote Iti Salesi,
Proverbs 31: 25-31
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”
Proverbs 31:25-31

Throughout her life, she touched many with her warmth always putting others before herself.
Her love for her family and her Faith in GOD was evident in everything she did whether it was through her famous home cooked meals, words of comfort or a simple act of being there for her Children, grandchildren, Families and Friends.
She left behind a lasting legacy of LOVE and this was evident when in her last few days she was beaming saying, she is surrounded by angels singing and she was ready for her last boarding flight.
