Helena Ataya is a legend and has left a legacy of memories. A woman of sincere and loyal faith toward Jesus. She will be sadly missed, but there is no doubt where she is now, with the one who gave her that exuberance and joy that many of us will remember. My prayers are with Miriam and John and Sarah, and all your family.

In 1993 the Lord declared to me, "Humble yourself before her for she is of great lineage". The subsequent 'defender of the cross' revelation and your Saliba family history dating back to the 4th century BC witnessed this lineage and explained your amazing ability to display the love and gentleness of the Holy Spirit in the presence of others. I have now been informed that George is celebrating your arrival along with all the saints in heaven. In reflection of his indomitable spirit I say "Hallelujah Aunty! Good and faithful servant."

Love from Ron and Judi Taylor
Psalm 17:15
But because
I have done what is right,
I will see you.
When I awake,
I will be fully satisfied,
for I will see you face to face.
