To
my cousin Odell, in memory of your son Gary, it is with deepest regret
that we can not be there today to support the family. We have always
arose in time of need. Please know that our prayers and condolences are
with you. My fondest memory of Gary is him walking into Alberta's birthday party, and dancing until the break of day. May God Rest, Rule,
and Abide in all of you. He is just a Prayer away.

My condolences to the Thomas Family:
The Lord called my dear friend home. Seems like just yesterday we were kids growing up on Green St. You were there for me doing my time of trouble, a shoulder to lean on. I remember my visits home from San Diego, your kindness of taking me to your favorite seafood restaurant in New Haven. I will miss you dearly, but I know you are in the best hands now. Rest in peace my friend.
