Deli,
Big Hugs to you.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.
More Big Hugs.
Deli, please know that my heart goes out to you and your family – mostly you. I know you are a strong person and you will get through this because you have a way seeing things clearly and deeply and being able to accept the things you can not change and having the courage to change the things that you can. Please know that I am one of many people, whose lives you and Joseph have touched, who are undergirding you and your family in prayer and thoughtfulness in this time when you need strength, understanding and love. You and your family are most loved and appreciated sincerely.
Even more Big Hugs.
I know you will miss your husband, Joseph, your heart. I also know that because he is your heart, he will never be away from you in the truest form -- in Spirit. He adored you, loved you, protected and cherished you as an Ephesians 5 man. He left a powerful legacy of integrity, love and submission to God to you. You all are so very precious to him. That will never change or end.
We love you, Deli, Daniel and Annece. God bless you and continue to empower you to live your lives on purpose, as Joseph, your devoted husband and loving father did here and still does in heaven.
Love always,
Your neice, Jenny

To all of my dear cousins,
You have my heartfelt sympathy, loosing a sibling is heart breaking, but we know, God knows how much we can bare, and he is there with out stretched arms, to comfort you, and to take you through the sorrow and the hurt that we are facing in these difficult times.
For we know, Joey, is ging to a place, to meet a just God, and he will be in his care until the time when God comes back to gather up all of his children and he shall be caught up in that great coming of the lord, "Oh what a time" See Joey purchased his ticket and it was stamped for "GLORY" so we can be comforted in knowing he is in Gods care.
With sincere sympathy,
I love all of you,
Your cousin, Geraldine Harvey & family

Dear Family, I was saddened by the news of cousin Joey's passing, but the blessing in it and the comfort comes into peace of mind is knowing that he purchased his ticket, and it is signed for glory. He is going to a place where there will be no more sorrow and sabbath will never end.
Delphine, to you and the children I know he will be greatly missed, but just reflect on the time that God loaned him to you and your family, Oh what a joy, several beautiful years together. I say look to the hills from which cometh your help, for he will be there with out stretched arms, to comfort you, and your family, for we know weeping may endure for a night, but, joy will come in the morning.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Geraldine Harvey and family
