Mr. Murad Muatabaya

Mr. Murad Muatabaya, known to many as Crawford Johnson Jr.

God saw you were getting weary, so He did what He thought was best; He came and stood beside you and whispered, “Come and Rest”. You gave no last farewell, not even a good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
