Gail,

I don't know what it means to loose a spouse, but I know what it means to loose someone you love. I am a true believer that through God all things are possible. Just believe and he will give you the strength you need.

I love you and Brian.

Gail and Brian,



I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in knowing that God makes no mistakes. You will always be in my prayers.

REV. DAVID DAVISS, SR.

Our bodies are mortal yet we are promised immortality. Our legs are fear and arms are time, ECC 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all, time to workout our soul salvation and endureth to the end. This is why physical courage is so important, it fills, as it were, the holes. Because of the hole left by the loss of Charles E.(Bubba) Mitchell there is an empty void, however,{PSA 27:14} Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. He will fill us with unspeakable joy.



REV. & MRS. DAVID L. DAVISS, SR.
