 By Rudyard Kipling

When Earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it- lie down for an aeon or two until the Master of all Good Workmen shall set us to work anew!

And those who were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair; they shall splash at a ten league canvas with bushes of comet's hair; They shall find real saints to draw from- Magdalene, Peter and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all.

And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame;

And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame;

But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, 

Shall draw the thing as he sees it for the God of things as they are!

 FIRST LADY HDBF 2004-2015 

On July 25, 2015, Our First Lady of HDBF left us for mansions in the skies. She was instrumental in organizing the ministry along with her husband.

This Tribute comes on the 2nd anniversary of her passing, and how the dynamics of our ministry has changed. Yes! She made the difference in helping others, giving and not remembering the gift. 

Rosia's love was genuine towards her church family as well to her husband, daughter and grand-child.

We pray that her spirit will continue to lift us before the throne of God-As we struggle to do. God's will on earth.

 May all who knew her blessed by our thoughts of her now and until we meet again!
