The couple were buried side by side in an emotional ceremony that drew church leaders, community members and well-wishers from far and near. Tributes described Pastor Emmanuel as a humble, visionary minister who poured his life into serving God and people, while Charity was remembered as a warm, supportive partner and a pillar of strength to her husband and the church.
During the service, officiating ministers urged mourners to reflect on the brevity of life and to live with purpose. They called on the congregation to take comfort in the Christian hope of eternal life even in the face of such loss.
