I can't comprehend just how sad your must feel
For the loss of someone you love
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you're looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings -- Amen
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I'm waiting to come to your aid,
Just call on me, and I'll walk down that road
Until the dark times start to fade.
My deepest condolences

To the family of Damon Little:
Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting little Master Little, I heard of his illness and his name during Sunday morning prayer. Knowing the pain and difficulty of losing a love one, I can't imagine these levels you may be experiencing. However, I do know that God is able to comfort you and sustain you during these difficult moments. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you and keep you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Rev. Joe Waddy and the entire family. I never met Damon, but I work with Brenda Hicks-Massey (she attends 1st Church) and many of us at HOME prayed for his earthly healing, but he now truly healed and resting in the arms of His Heavenly Father. Jessica, I lost a child at the age of almost 1 in 1993. I can't imagine how you feel--the lost, but God will comfort and strengthen in ways you didn't think possible. But, God restored all that i lost and he will do the same for you. Grace and Peace to you all.

As you Remember,
Damon
A young life has passed from our sight, but never from your Heart,
Parents never expect
to outlive their children,
and surely there is no loss
that is sadder
or harder to understand.
Know that those
who care about you
are thinking of you
with deep compassion
and sorrow at this difficult time.

Family,
There aren't many times you will see us and hear silence. At these times are hearts are overflowing until words can not express how we truly feel. GOD knows best, everyday we pray that he orders our steps, that we may do and say all that's pleasing unto HIM. You all are an inspiration in our lives. However, Damon was our teacher! He will never leave us; everything you see, feel, smell, touch, hear or say will spark a lesson. THAT will last FOREVER! EL SHADDAI
