Stevie & George and Family. I just want to express my sincere sympathy and let you know that I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. But the word says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and we all have an appointment we have to keep one day. Love you and be Blessed and know that God still Is...
