    He says "Neria, dont give up, God is with you" (Mwari anewe)

    "Having, your husband die, my sister, dont give up, God is with you

    Live is a (rollercoaster) Look out for the bad things Neria, dont give up, God is with you"

    ((((Although he doesnt say roalacoaster, it has the same meaning...))))
