Gone to be with the Lord! But what runs through your mind when your Facebook friend passes on?

Late Amicable-Jane Afahaeme

We just stumbled on this sad news on Facebook about the death of Amicable-Jane Afahaeme. She was from Oron, but she lived in Uyo the Akwa Ibom State capital. She was just 25 years old, according to the birthday information on her Facebook page.
A message from one Imelda Harry Ufford says “Amicable-Jayne funeral is next week Friday 30th August by 10am @ St Anthony Catholic Church, Bernett Bassey, Uyo. Dress code: Anything Black. Pls let's all come out en mass to give our friend/ sister a befitting burial.”

We feel so sad for the untimely death of this young beautiful girl from Akwa Ibom State, even though she wasn’t our Facebook friend. And we are compelled to ask: how do you feel when someone you know only on Facebook passes on? Do you cry? Do you unfriend their account so that you won’t be reminded of the tragedy of their death, for instance, whenever their birthday pops up on your Facebook page?
Please share your thought, while you pray that the soul of the departed sister rest in peace and that may the good Lord comfort family members and friends she has left behind.
