Dear Larry,

I am so sorry for the lost of your grandson whom you and your wife raised. I have heard what a wonderful young man he was. I know that you will miss him dearly but remember that the Word says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." Phillippians 3:20 NIV

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Phillippians 1:21 NIV

You will continually be in my prayers and thoughts.

Your In Christ,
(Was Scherry Edmonds)

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Deacon Stephney, and the family. May God give you comfort, strength, and peace. I know that somewhere and some how things will work out just fine with the Lord on your side. It takes time. But just knowing that God is able and that He can make a way.
