Not sure what to say?

I just heard the news of Vincent's passing. I am still in shock and in a state of disbelief. Even though, we lost touch over the years, he was often in my thoughts and prayers. Vincent was an extremely special, giving, and loving young man. He was always there when you needed him. He cared very much for those whom he loved and would share as much as he had. He was very compassionate and truly cared about people. My prayers go out to his wife and his children. Vincent will continue to do in...

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

To Donna and Family:

I can not begin to express my feeling for your lost of your love one. But I do know that we have a God that is a comforter and caring God. He will give you comfort in time of need; love when you do not want love; care when you feel no need for care and when you are all along I believe he is at the door.

So when you have these feelings just remember he stands at the door to give you comfort.

May God be with you and your family.

Donna,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. May the love of those around you help you through this difficult time. The days ahead will not be easy but God will strenghten you and help you to heal.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4, NIV).

I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Vincent. Although I only met him once, I can tell that you two were a special couple. I am sorry that I can not make it to the memorial service on Friday, but you and the kids will continue to be in my prayers.

To Donna and the kids:
I want you to know that I am here for you whenever you need me. Don't hesitate to call. I love you like a sister and my condolences go out to you and the kids. I know you loved Vincent and he knows that too. GOD will get you through this difficult time. May GOD bless you all. Donna, you are in my prayers and I love you.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We wish to express our sincerest condolences on the passing of your loved one, Vincent B. Simmons. Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

My prayers are with you and your children at this very difficult time.
