To the Bradford Family and Friends.

I am truly sorry for your lost. Take refuse in knowing that God knows all our needs. Lean not to your own understanding, but hold on to God's unchanging hands. Allow God to be your comforter, during your time of despair. Know that God is with you always, even until the end of time. You will see Ms. Cheryl again and God's heavenly places. She will always be with you in your heart. Hold on to those special memories that God has given to you to share. Take comfort in the 23rd Psalm of David, OT.
As one of the CYP staff, I will remember Cheryl's beauitful smile that can radiate in a room of people and our brief conversations. The family is in my sincere prayers. My prayer is that God will give you enter peace and strengthen you at this time. Draw to Him, in your time of loneliness, call on Jesus...He will be right there, when you need Him the most. In Jesus Precious name.

Warren, Sherrie, Sandra and the rest of the family. We are praying for you all down here in Jacksonville, Fla and here at Greater Church of God By Faith. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. God does not make mistakes and he is too just to do wrong. Shirley is absent from the body but she is present with the Lord, so we will see her again.
