A processional entrance of clergy and family members began the three-hour service, which included hymns, offerings, scriptures, prayers, and instrumental selections while a memorial slideshow played behind the casket flanked by floral arrangements and photos of Wamah and his art. “We are gonna get justice for Joseph,” sister Jasmine Wamah promised. “Everybody that was involved or took part in Joseph’s death, we are going to find you — there are consequences. Rest in peace, Joseph. I love you, and I’m glad that I told you the last time I saw you.”

This uncertainty has shattered our lives — we have to bury our children with this calamity.”“Take action, God is working,” he urged.
