To Pam and Family
My heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Mr. Luther Sykes. Words alone cannot express my sympathy on the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandfather, relative and friend to many.
To say that his time with us was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him.
There is no doubt the outpouring of sympathy you have received has been of some consolation. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to you that prayers and thoughts are with the family.
I hope that you and your family will find peace and comfort in knowing that his reward awaits him.
I will continue to lift your family up in prayer for comfort.
