Not sure what to say?

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of “Mr. M“ he was a good friend and coworker at Many junior high school for several years. I will always remember his wonderful laugh, his kindness,
his sense of humor and our shenanigans. It was a joy to work with a man of his integrity. My deepest condolences to “Mrs. M “and the rest of the family. And Christian love, Coach Cole

I won’t forget him as my pastor never forget him to treat us like a family hang around in our place he love to cook and eat and his family he is down to earth very open heart my brother Pastor you be miss

I will miss us laughing together!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I know to be absent here on earth is to be present with the Lord. You will always be missed and remembered. I know that tomorrow is not promised to anyone, and we will meet again. May you rest in peace and love.

Pastor Medlock , a true man of god who i have looked up to all my life and treasured, I'm going to miss the comforting conversation... but i will never forget the words you have spoken to me or the times you spent at home with me and my family to educate us about life with god I'm truly going to miss you Rip , Family you have my condolences

Butch and I was raised up together in the same neighborhood, we have always had a great relationship (family) I will truly miss seeing him and that wonderful smile of his, RIH, until we meet again ❤

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
