Dawn:
I am deeply sadden to hear of the loss of your father in this life. Please know that you can and will see your father again in heaven.
He is free from earthly pain and suffering. While this does little to comfort us who are left behind.. I hope that you can find some peace with this thought.
I don't even begin to understand death, especially of mothers and fathers who are the core beings of who we are but I find peace in the thought that God has a plan and that death, the death of your father, is part of a plan.
With my deepest sympathy,
Jennifer D. Marshall

To the favorite man in my life, Grandpa ;
I am glad you are in great hands and resting peacefully. Even though it took me a long time to accept the fact that you are gone, I finally realize that all your pain is gone and you are happy. I'm continuing to stay strong for you and the family and I'm surprised at how strong I am because everyone knows that they couldn't say anything about my grandpa. I'm going to miss the way you were always humming while walking around the house or when you were driving. My bestfriend and I are going to really miss the way you backed up into parking spaces when you were picking me up from school. We laughed everytime. I'm also going to miss the way you blasted your old jams in the car, especially Sade. I miss you and I love you. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.
Love your granddaughter, Briana.

To Pank, My Dad, I am going to miss you. You were always there when I needed you. I take comfort in knowing that you are in the best of hands now and no longer suffering. No more pain. Because you were there my entire life, you left billions and billions of memories behind. You were a strong and hard working man. Thank you for being there and I will truly miss you. I love you!

to my father whom i love dearly. i thank you for being the man in my life and the life of my siblings. no words can express my grief. no words can express my sorrow. yet, no words can express the gratitude i have for you and the fact that you were a major part of my life. i thank the lord that he allowed you to be with us until we were grown. we are truly blessed. even in death there is reason to praise the lord, even in death, something good springs forth. i pray that those you left behind continue to keep your memory alive and strive to be the best we can be in the lord. i love you and will miss you.

Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15
By the Great Commission of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ
John Henry Royal Jr... A Brother… Friend… Loving Husband… Devoted Father, Grand-Father,
and Father -In- Law,
was taken up into glory on the 12th day of January
In The Year of Our Lord… Two Thousand And Ten.
Let it be known that our loss,
is heaven's gain…
Though he will be sorely missed,
we bow submissively
to the will of our Lord and Saviour… Jesus Christ, who does all things well, and never makes a mistake…
Let it also be Resolved,
that we tender our deepest sympathies to The Family…
to the many friends… and loved ones…
And we do this day… Implore the God that we serve… to bestow upon you…
A portion of His Divine love…
to overtake you… and fill your hearts with gladness…
To remove any sadness or sorrow,
as you grieve the loss
of your dearly beloved.
Our prayer is that God,
will allow His consoling grace,
to overshadow you with joy…
Realizing that "Pank" has gone home,
to be with his Maker… and his Father,
And we do pray this day,
to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ…
Who alone is able to comfort you…
and give you the strength
to carry on...
Be encouraged family,
in knowing that The LORD He is God:
it is He that hath made us,
and not we ourselves;
We are His people,
and the sheep of His pasture.
Psalm 100:3
Naked we came out of our mother's womb, and naked we shall return;
The LORD gave,
and the LORD hath taken away;
Blessed be the name of the LORD.
Job 1:21
