TO THE LANGLEY FAMILY, ON BEHALF OF PASTOR WHITAKER, THE GRAYLAND BAPTIST CHURCH FAMILY & THE WILLIAMS FAMILY WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND CONDOLENCES TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY. 2 COR 5:8 SAYS TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE TRULY PRESENT WITH THE LORD. I KNEW MR. SHORTY. I USE TO SEE HIM WORK TO THE CORNER STORE ANYTIME WHEN YOU ALL LIVED ON ARNOLD AVENUE. HE WAS A VERY NICE AND POLITE GENTLEMAN. HIS PRESENTS I'M SURE WILL TRULY BE MISSED. HOWEVER, REMEMBERING ALL THE FONDS MEMORIES OF HIM WILL GET YOU THROUGH THE ROUGH DAYS AHEAD, ALONG WITH THE HAND OF GOD DIRECTING YOU. JUST KNOW YOU ARE SURROUNDED WITH FRIENDS WHO LOVE YOU AND CARE.
PEACE & BLESSINGS ALWAYS,

To my Elemen/Middle School Buddy Carlein Langley, all her brother's and Mom, so sorry to hear of Mr. Langley passing. I've thought of you and your family often, your family was a soft place for me to fall when I was young, at a time when my family was so disfunctional. I loved you & your family & learned how a family should be, everyone always made me feel like family, from Fairfield to Venable.
My Deepest Condolences......
