WE ARE SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SON. I REMEMBER OUR TALKS AT THE ONE STOP ABOUT OUR CHILDREN AND HOW THEY WENT TO ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS TOGETHER. GOD TAKES ONLY THE BEST. STAY STRONG AND HE WILL CARRY YOU ALL THRU.

Dear Uncle Bennie, Aunt Babara, Charise, Ricardo, & Family

The
Porter Family,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your son Shawn. I worked with
Barbara and I can still remember her talking about her precious Shawn and Sherise. He promised to never leave us nor forsake us, trust in him always. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.

"They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his CALLED, CHOSEN AND FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS."

Ms. Barbara, even in your deepest moment of sorrow, please continue to praise the Lord and know that our almighty God is all knowing and must have taken/chosen Shawn to protect us and help continue to fight the battle.

My heart is with you and your family always. ~ In prayer,

I am sorry for your lost and will keep the family in my prays. Mommy Ness Josha, Terral, Dareusa, and April I am here if you need me.

Love
Big sis Tonia

He Only Took My Hand

Last night while I was trying to sleep
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.

He said: "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, mom
He...

Dea and Sis Porter,

I am truly sorry to hear about Shawn's passing. I was shocked when my father called and told me the news. Just remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. As everyone else has stated, Shawn was a very respectful young man...always saying yes sir or no ma'am. He was a quiet person, but like I always told him, he had that deep command voice. God bless all of you and I will keep you in my prayers
