Donna Sutton Hill and family,

Right now everything seems so surreal. People are everywhere. Soon it will be each of you alone with the memories of your dad. Grief is a process...go through each step knowing that prayers are with you for comfort, strength, courage and acceptance.

Being absent from the body is a transition from the troubles of earth to the pleasure of enjoying the everlasting love and peace of home.

Call on your angels to shower you with love.

portation dpt. There I found out he was
the father of my dear high school friend
William Sutton Jr.. Also he lives across the street from my brother in-law Mr. David Hill. May God bless you William & family in your time of sadness. The Wilson family is praying
for you. He told me what everybody is doing in life and he was so proud.
Be blessed. There is no place like home with Jesus. Min. Edward J. Wilson & family.
