To My Sister Betty Pace and Family:
I know you are hurting now because of your loss. You were together so long. God makes no mistakes.
Sometimes we don't understand why he does things the way he does them but only he knows. He will
not put anymore on us than we can bear. No person is ever truly alone. Those who live no more, Whom we loved, Echo still within our thoughts, Our words, our hearts. And what they did And who they were becomes a part of all that we are, Forever. There is nothing i can do,
to make him come back. There are no words I can say, that can replace the words you long to hear. There are no answer's I can give, that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared. I can not promise
your broken heart will ever be complete. I will not say it could have been worse; I will not deny it it is a loss within your heart. I will not lie and tell you he will come back He never really left. I do promise he hears you when you speak. I will say he loves you no matter the distance. I will not deny he is in a better place, And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday. He is in every you step
you take. He is in everything you do. He is the air you breathe. He is every beat of your heart. " He is
like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him". If there is anything I can do for
you and your family please don't hesitate to call me. I love all of you very much and my heart goes out to
the entire family. May God watch over all of you forever and ever.

To Mother And the entire family in your celebration of dad, our family celebrates with you. Reflexing back on all the sermons and then the free concert he would throw after preaching, One of his favorite saying was stick to the basics, so "Family Stick To The BASICS" you have what you need the things he talked you, keep God first andon a day like this makes clear all the things that families share- the comfort of belonging and the love, the warmth,the care... Pace family you have the qualities that families share seems stronger,and deeper too when the family had a father who was wonderful as Dad Pace remember that God has loaded you with all the benefits you need to get through this. You are in our prayers and very near to our heart. We love you all. the Cobia Family

Mother Pace,
Know that you are in our prayers during this time of celebration. As Paul said: "For we know that if the earthly house of this tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building...."
And that building does not have the problems that this earthly building is subject too.
Dad Pace's pain and pressure is gone and He can truly declare: "Free at last, Free at last, thank God almighty, I'm Free at last!"
