May you please take comfort in the powerful words written in the bible for our comfort. Matthew 5:4 reads.."Happy are those who mourn since they will be comforted." May the father of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to ease the sorrow of your heart at this time. ~with compassion

Sharon and Bobby,
Words cannot begin to express our sorrow at the loss of your Dad. What a blessing it was to watch the joy on his face on Sundays' when he sang in the choir. We know that he and your Mom are smiling down from Heaven.
