Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. John14:27-29

To: Brenda Chappell & Paulette Daniels, Karderick and Broderick; whom I remember when they were born.

Our prayers are with you all. It is a hard thing to loose a mother. I have never lost a sister, I know that is probably hard also. Lift your eyes until the hills which comes all of our help. Our help comes from the Lord.

God is our refuge and our strength,
A very present help in the time of trouble.
therefore we will not fear, even through the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea,
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
