It’s with our sincerest appreciation that we want to thank our family, extended family and friends for your support during these difficult times.  During this process, God has sent many angels whom have guided us and offered support through each day. Your prayers, calls and reaching out has made a huge impact.

The amount of support and love has not only helped myself, but our children in coping through it all.  I want you all to know how much we appreciate your kindness.  It hasn’t gone unnoticed.  You’re the answers to my prayers and God has truly sent each of you to let me know that I am not in this alone.  You have welcomed us into to your open arms which makes us feel like family.

The greatest comfort during our sorrow was the expressions of sympathy conveyed to us in many ways. We deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness and thank you most sincerely.

“For I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13.

Brother, To lose such a great friend and person is not believable. GOD called you early for reasons we can’t understand. You will be missed but your memory will live on with all of those you reached and touch. We never say Good Bye, Just see you, My Friend.
