You and your family will continually be in our prayers. Remember, '...weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.' May God's love surround you and yours.

Tanisha I am deeply saddened by Maurices death. My heart broke for you and your children. I will keep you in my prayers and will be available should you need me I know now that God is holding you in his arms and is a very present help in a time of trouble. Lean on his ever lasting arms he will uphold you. I know it sounds cliche but if you do need me call God bless and keep you I do know this Maurice wanted to be all God intended him to be. I believe he closed his eyes on this side and was awakened by the beautiful sound of the voice of the Lord enter in my son I love you with the love of the Lord. Minister Linda Truesdale

“ THE BROKEN CHAIN”
Little did we know that morning that GOD
would call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the
same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go
alone,
For parts of us went with you the day GOD
called you home.
You left us we peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, your always at our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
But as GOD calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
“REST IN PEACE”

I am so sorry for your loss my heart goes out to you and your kids. It seemed like every time I was around Maurice we would always laugh. And he would alway joke around and invite us over for chicken. He was a decent person. Maurice never said anything bad about no one. My Prayers are with you. In case you are wondering who this is , I used to work at Hathhorn court doing security.

My Prayers are with the family, I don't understand Gods reasoning for allowing this but I know in my spirit that Maurice is in a lot better place I know this because I know he has given his life to Christ. So my prayers are for Tanisha and the children that he has left behind your heartbreak and suffering will lessen over time but know that you will see him again and that day will be a glorious reunion. I sing a song in my church called I can only imagine, Maurice does not imagine any more he has already been received because the bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Tanisha don't let this slow your step keep stiving for the mark and you'll make it just fine.
