Our God is a mighty God may he give you all the strength you need to get through this difficult time. Please to all her family and friends sorry for your loss

Although we've connected through 'the twins", (Keisha and Keith) we all became family for life. I miss your dearly, I love you strong. R.I.H

She and her sister Helen and her brother Amos and his wife Katie, immediately embraced me and my husband Melvin into the family that when the fun and laughter began. Our meetings and friendship has been only met with pure fun and laughter. We could find a way to get through life's pain and struggles through laughter. Clowns like Doris and myself are very serious people. We often take the high roads through life with laughter.

May you be sustained by the God of all comfort during this difficult time and the days ahead. My condolences to the family.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.
