Dear Mr. and Mrs Davis and Family,

Bereavement is so personal that few of us, unless we have experienced it for ourselves, can comprehend its grief. We were sorry to hear about Jame's death and the manner in which he passed. I know that your courage will help you through this difficult time and it is our hope that our caring will lessen the sorrow that you bear. May your memories be a comfort for your family and ease the sorrow of your recent loss. We are all in the hands of a just God. May He keep you in His care.

With profound sympathy,

The sister & family of Shirley Davis

dear Ms. Dorothy,
sorry to hear about your son James. Remember earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. God cares about all you are going through now and wraps you in the warmth of His loving arms. Give it all to Him and allow Him to bring peace to your soul even now, as only He can do. Will keep you and the family lifted in prayer.
Respectively,

To the family of Edward Davis. We remember him sharing some times and laughter with us on our Father's Day Brunch and the Fun Day at St. Paul. He wanted to become a member of our group (PPC). We grew up in this church together and we could laugh and joke with each other. May God continue to bless this family.
Love Always,
Dorothy Lavender and Diane Wade

Uncle Bear, I will miss you terribly. I will always remember the love and care and fun we had as you taught me as a child. Thank you so much for all that you did. I will stay close to Nikki and Rod, as you raised us like siblings, so we shall remain.
