It is with great sadness that we feel on the lost of such a great loved one. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May God strengthen your hearts and may each day the loving arms of Jesus wipe all your tears. May God Richly Bless and Comfort your family as your family has comforted ours.

To the Levett Family:

Words will not convey our deepest sympathy in the loss of Mr. George W. Levett, Sr. Mr. Levett was truly a mighty man of valor: a husband, father, provider, leader, and a pillar of African Methodism. It is a blessing to know that everyone that knew him was touched by his generosity, thoughtfulness, concern, listening and honest words. He truly touched the lives of many and lived to make a difference in the lives all. May God grace sustain each of you.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. (She-bud) and I grew up together and always knew each other where ever we went. Tootsie also was dear in our hearts. We ask that God give you the strength that you need to know that this too shall pass. Always in our hearts we know that (She-Bud) was one of the best. In our prayers Lille Byrd Allen-Moore and Family.

May God richly bless the Levett Family. God will never put more on us than we can handle. In times like these it's good to have that "Blessed Assurance" that we have a God that gives us peace that passes all understanding. Another "Giant" in the Conyers/Rockdale community has gone on , but he truly made a difference in a countless number of families lives that he touched.

May God Bless The Levett Family,

Deacon Willie Henderson,Jr. and Family

Our sincere condolences go out to the family of George Levett, Sr. in the loss of such a remarkable man who gave so much to his family and community.

George was a man of strength, integrity and honesty and his family reflected that. A truely strong family. He was always concerned about the people of Conyers. On numerous holidays he gave a community picnic for the residents of his neighborhood.

In his business he never turned away clients who did not have sufficient funds to pay for funeral arrangements.

I have known George and his wife since childhood. Our hearts and love are with all the family at this time.

You can be so proud of all he accomplished and all he meant to so many people. May your special memories of George be a comfort to you all.

To my family of cousins:

I would just like to extend my condolences to all of you in the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, and so on. "Shebub", as we all knew him, is no longer in physical pain. He was a very important icon in our family, the Rock Temple church family and the community as well. He has helped many individuals and families in many different ways, from "legal" advice, to bare minimum money required from families (for a nice burial) when there was no insurance policy for the deceased. His works, good deeds and friendship will be missed by anyone who knew him.

Be strong and trust in the Lord and keep your heads held high. This is a time for us not only to mourn the loss of a family member, but to celebrate his life and the impact he had on others.

I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Abundant Blessings to All,

Andre`, Dana and Danielle Foster

We love you and will always be here to help in any way we can. Love Always Ruth,Addie Jo,Graneze & Deloris
