Dear Capps family, you are in our prayers during these days. While I did not personally know Mr. Capps I can see that he was a great man and that he left a legacy. One of those legacies is his son Eddie who I am proud to know and work with. I am sure that you feel a sense of loss at this time. Thankfully he KNEW Jesus and is therefore with Him now. As was mentioned at the funeral, God's hand is holding up Mr. Capps, now in a way that is more profound than ever. It is nice to know that you...

It was a pleasure to have got to know both of you. I have and will not ever forget either of you. You two will always have a special place in my heart. I am praying for Jackie and the family and I am so sorry I couldn't attend. I hope you felt I was there and my thoughts are with you and your family today.
