I would just like to say thanks to everyone who helped out with my grandfather's funeral. Even though my mom and I were ripping and running all week trying to get the funeral arranged, it all came out to be a nice funeral. Before the funeral you know since I am young and all I really did not beleive that he was dead, but after the funeral I realized it and that when it really did hit me to my heart. I would just like to thank all of my grandfather's cousins and his family who helped out and may god bless you.

My deepest regrets to family and friends. Although I have only met Uncle M.E. a few times, I will always remember the smiles and his happiness to see family.

Those we hold most dear never leave us...
They live on in kindnesses they showed,
The comfort they shared, and the love
They brought into our lives.
Although it's sad to lose those who are dear to us, there is comfort in remembering all the times they made such a differnce in our lives.
You will always be remember in my heart.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Your Cousin Khani Morgan

I would just like to say how sorry I am for grandfather's death. He was a well known man around town, and a loving grandfather, but I am happy that he found somewhere to rest his head in peace.
