Not sure what to say?

Junie, words cannot express what I felt when I received the call from the hospital of your passing, It was like my HEART stop beating. I had not prepared myself for this, you were suppose to come home. You were doing so well. Sunday 10/17/05 and Monday 10/18/05 we had the best time talking and laughing. When you told me, "Mac I'll be home for my birthday", I guess I should have asked you which home. Junie you made it,you made it to your heavenly home and I know you have a CROWN. I hope...

Franklin always had a smile for everyone! We will surely miss him and the joy that he brought to everyone.

Dear Maxine and Family,

Words cannot express how sorry we were to hear about your loss. Junie was a wonderful person and we know that he is with the Lord.

God Bless.

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time. Mr. Hunter will be missed.

Franklin was a wizard in the kitchen. As much as I dislike being the "cook", I appreciate the tips to gave me for meal preparation that would make someone think I really knew what I was doing. (smile) Thanks Frank.

There's sure to be a void around Ebenezer for awhile. He had such a special spirit and will surely be missed. God bless you, Mr. Hunter.

Sincerely,

My deepest sympathy to the Hunter family. He will truly be missed.

Words cannot express how much Frank will be missed. He fed our bodies and our spirits. I hope he now knows how many lives he touched. His big heart and Christian spirit compelled him to help others in any way he could. Even when he was in the hospital he was making others feel better. He cherished his family and loved his friends.
