September 5, 2009
We were so sorry to hear about the death of our good friend and loyal member of the Wesley Fellowship Class. We will miss his smiling face when we walk in the classroom as he always sat in the same seat on the front row every Sunday morning that he was able to be there. We will also miss talking to him about the Georgia Bulldogs.
Ann, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear family,
I want to thank you for sharing this wonderful man with me. He was one of the instructors that helped me along in masonry. He was always friendly, kind and a true mason. He will truly be missed and I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around the family and give you comfort and peace during these difficult days. May God bless you all.

I am sorry to hear of your loss of a loved one. I'm sure that Mr. Duffey's involvement in the church proved him a religious man. As such, no doubt he showed love for God and His Word. Hopefully you can find comfort in the scripture at Revelation 21:3,4 where it tells us:With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
May this passage bring you comfort in your time of grieving.
