Scriptures OLD TESTAMENT~ JOHN 17:24-26

24 Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.

25 O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.

26 I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Osmond Telesford passed away on December 30, 2024, at 97.

Osmond was born on June 10, 1927, in Grenada. Osmond's life was a remarkable journey spanning nearly a century, marked by resilience, adventure, and deep connections with family and friends.

Osmond was the son of Agnes Taitt and Eli Telesford. Osmond was also the cherished brother of Catherine, Louise, Darkie, Anthony, Stephen, Rose, and John.

Osmond married Christiana, and together, they raised six children who carry forward his legacy: Michael (Marilyn), Leroy (Pamela), Kelvin (Gracie), Elton (Tiny), Annette (James), and Winston (Patricia).

During the 1940s, he embarked on his first great adventure, moving to Trinidad and setting the tone for a life of exploration.

His journey took him to St. Croix, Boston, back to Trinidad, and Montreal before returning to Boston, where he spent the remainder of his life.

Osmond's love for the ocean was unparalleled. He found immense joy in swimming, savoring fresh seafood, and sharing laughs over games of All Fours. Music, sports, western movies, and puzzles were also among his favorite pastimes.

Osmond's warmth, humor, and love of life touched everyone he met. His memory will be cherished by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and a life well-lived.

Rest in peace, Osmond. You will forever remain in our hearts, carried on the waves of the ocean you so dearly loved.

Scriptures NEW TESTAMENT~ROMANS 6:3-9 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

4 We were buried[a] therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

6 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.

7 For he who has died is freed from sin.

8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

9 For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
