Rosalie Canter.

Coralee attended Oakes Field Primary and completed her secondary education at T.A. Thompson High School. Upon completing high school, Coralee worked at a Security firm for several years of her life. Coralee then decided to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. She moved to Ocala, Florida where she would’ve worked in a Nursing home before owning her very own, while in University. Coralee lived in Florida for 22 years. While on family vacation, she found out that she was an expected Grandmother for the very first time so she then made the decision to move back to Nassau where she would be closer to her Granddaughter. Coralee then started working at Doctor’s Hospital as a Patient Care Technician up until the time that God called her home.

Faith would have it that Coralee would have met her love Ralph while exercising. Coralee & Ralph would have fallen deeply in love & decided that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. On January 18th, 2020, she got married to Ralph and they both started their life together as newlyweds.

In the early hours of August 7th, 2021, Coralee started to experience shortness of breath and was soon after rushed to Doctor’s Hospital where she was then admitted. Coralee would’ve spent three (3) months in hospital and then was later released on November 10th, 2021. During this time, Coralee seemed to get better for a few weeks; up until Coralee started to have an intense pain in her stomach again on the 23rd of December, 2021. The ambulance had to be called and again Coralee was admitted into Doctor’s Hospital. Prayers were prayed for Coralee’s fast recovery and return but the Sovereign God had other plans. On Tuesday January 18th, 2022, Coralee breathe her final breath and was taken into eternal rest.

OBITUARY

And can it be that I should gain, An int’rest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

’Tis myst’ry all: th’ Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father’s throne above— So free, so infinite His grace— Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam’s helpless race: ’Tis mercy all, immense and free, For, O my God, it found out me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature’s night; Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray— I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th’ eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Charles Wesley

PRAYER OF INVOCATION

Prayer Response................................................................................ “Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound”

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, Than when we’d first begun.

Song of Assurance .................................................................................................................... “I’ll Fly Away”

Some glad morning, When this life is over, I’ll fly away; To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away.

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away; When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, I’ll fly away.

When the shadows, Of this life have gone, I’ll fly away; Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I’ll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away; To a land where joys shall never end, I’ll fly away.

Closing Song

There’s a line that’s been drawn through the ages; On that line stands the old rugged cross. On that cross a battle is raging For the gain of man’s soul or his loss.

“It is finished!” The battle is over! It is finished! There’ll be no more war! It is finished! end of the conflict! It is finished and Jesus is Lord!

On one side march the forces of evil, All the demons and devils of hell. On the other the angels of glory And they meet on Golgotha’s hill.

The earth shakes with the force of the conflict; The sun refuses to shine. For there hangs God’s Son in the balance, And then through the darkness He cries:

Then I heard that the King of all ages Had won all the battles for me. And the vict’ry was mine for the claiming; And now praise His name I am free!

William Gaitor

Prayer ........................................................................................................................ Pastor Timothy Johnson

“Glad Reunion Day”

There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know When we see the many loved ones we’ve known here below Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow That will be a glad reunion day

A glad day, a wonderful day Glad day, a glorious day

There with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay That will be a glad reunion day

When we live a million years in that wonderful place Basking in the love of Jesus, beholding His face It will seem but just a moment of praising God’s grace That will be a glad reunion day

There’s a city of light where there cometh no night, ‘Tis a city of beauty untold; All my treasures are there and it’s beauty I’ll share, When I get to that city of gold.

When I leave all trouble and care, I will say good morning up there; I will have great gladness untold, When I get to that city of gold

There’s no sorrow up there in that city so fair And no sickness can enter I’m told; Shadows all will have flown, I will meet friends I’ve known, When we get to that city of gold.

Won’t you go there with me to the home of the free, Would you see heaven’s beauty unfold? If you will come along, we will sing heaven’s sing When we get to that city of gold.
