To Svondai and Family,
"The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone you love. May today's sorrow give way to the peace and
comfort of GOD's love. Continue to pray he will make a way.....Keep your head up! ....Much Love!

Mr. Hicks you were a true child of God and you will be missed. He is just calling you home because you are needed. You dont have to be weary anymore you can truly rest now. You raised your children well and they will take care of their mother. I know she will miss you but she will always carry you in her heart forever. Your family and friends are in my prayers. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Granddad....you were a truly wonderful soul. I never realized how many peoples lives you touched in your long journey on earth. I have been very selfish all these years to think that your wife, children and grandchildren will only be affected by your passing. Over the last few days I've seen so many more people share their love, tears, thoughts and praise for your life. You are greatly missed and will be for the rest of our lives. Although you were stern when raising us...we want you to know that you have laid a solid foundation for our lives and those footprints will be on our hearts forever. But one thing that you have cursed me with is trying to find a man like you to share my life with... and I have been unsuccessful in doing so because you were truly one of a kind so your little girl may be single but I'm never alone thanks to the big and wonderful family I was blessed to be born in. It was wonderful having you in my life to raise me and we will all make sure Grandma is never alone. Well this is where the story ends for now... and I'll talk to you sometime later...
Love you always,
Pookie (Delsherri Charles)
