The program for the funeral paid tribute to Delali’s many
achievements and went on to say: “The last 15 years of his life, Delali battled
with dependence on Pethidine, a painkiller belonging to the Opiate family. This very powerful painkiller was used in treating
the pain of sickle cell borne pain crisis from is teens. He struggled with this dependence for about
five years before it came to the family’s notice. Over the past ten years he gave a good fight. Those of us who cared about him felt he
should have fought harder but alas we don’t understand the hold of addiction
over a person’s life. The last two years
of his life, he found a new family in the House of St. Francis, a rehab house
for people with drug dependency problems.
They were a superb family! They
accepted him as one of their own and their rehab programme brought Delali a
renewed sense of dignity and self-worth.
He also drew closer to God while there.”

We Lost Delali
Today, June 14, 2014, the 39 year old Delali S. was laid to
rest at a service held at City God Church in Accra, Ghana. The hundreds of mourners included seven from
the House of St. Francis (HSF) family.
Delali had been a much loved resident and alumni of the HSF for over a
year; he passed away on May 3 after an illness which got the best of him. A generous and gifted person “with a high IQ,
exceptional talents and excellent human relation skills”, Delali will be
greatly missed. The pastor at today’s
service said: “This is the most honest funeral that I have ever attended. The family
asked for forgiveness for the shortcomings of Delali; The Lord says ‘I like
that’”.

I could not have closed on my first home without Mr, Pedro ! Pedro and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turn around time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr Pedro is an incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple offers on properties before my final purchase and Pedro was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Pedro and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud homeowner! I would encourage you to consider Pedro and his loan company for any kind of loan.
