Laila Shewchuk was loved and appreciated by all who knew her. She was a character who had a dry sense of humour and was very artistic. Her life revolved around her family and her deep spiritual conviction. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, she had a strong faith in the resurrection and a positive hope for mankind.

What a pure blessing to have spiritual minded parents. Laila lived her entire life from infancy serving Jehovah. She is a blessing to all. Jehovah never forgets all she has done to his praise.. Now the family continues with the same determination and courage to make Jehovah’s heart rejoice.. Laila ran the race of faithfulness and kept her integrity to her “rest.” Jesus will call, and she will answer.. Job 14:13-15 May we all be there to greet Laila in Paradise.. Warm Christian Love and Prayers, Sandy Wirfs
