God gave you an assignment, you finished what God gave you to do, you came to know so many here, you made them laugh, you made them smile, you gave your wisdom, and kind words, you were never harsh even at your worst. And although there were times you didn't want to smile whom ever came in touch with you, you always gave your best. And then one night God looked down, and called his angels to his side, he looked again, and shook his head, and said to the angel, go bring my son home. They came down here, and took you by the hand and said to you we've come to bring you home. Do not fear, for God has said it's your time to rest, no more work for you, your assignment has been completed, and although you will be missed it is time for you to come home. God will comfort, and give his strength, and his peace to those that will miss you and that loved you, and he will show them that this is not a time for sadness but a time to celebrate your life and your works. It's your time to rest.
May you rest in peace
Mr. Lenard Parker
May God give you and your family the peace,strength, and comfort during this difficult time. Our deepest condolences and sympathy to you and your family. God bless
