Aldwyn Stewart was my very loving brother. He was a man who gave unselfishly and look for nothing in return. We prayed for a miracle, but God wanted his dear son. Our hearts broke when he died. He is with our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ. My siblings and I thank our dearest sister-in-law Loreen, for the care and love that she showed our brother, she is truly the virtuous woman and a true meaning of the word, helpmeet. Loreen is the best thing that ever happen to our brother. He is resting in the arms of the Lord.
