It has been a Blessing to be given the opportunity to provide care & comfort to you Mr. Ralph Jewell...a gentleman I grew to Love..My dearest friend.
God saw you getting tired & a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you & whispered "COME TO ME". With tearful eyes I watched you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden Heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me. He only takes the BEST.
"Eternal Rest...Grant to Him Oh Lord..And Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him....May He Rest In Peace"...Amen.
My sincere condolences to the Jewell,Seymour & DeVol Families. My thoughts & Prayers are with you during this difficult time. God Bless!!
