My prayers are with you. I pray that God will comfort you in this hour of bereavement. Always know that God will not put more on you than you are able to bear. Hold on to Gods hand. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. On behalf of my mother Pastor Bettie Blair of Warrenton (House of God Church Ministries) and myself, along with my church Apostolic Faith Kingdom Life Fellowship Ministries in Sparta we are going to keep you in our prayers and pray that God will give you strength to carry on. I pray for your strength in the Lord. May God richly bless you.

I just wanted to let you all know that my heart was truly broken over the loss of Jonah & Nicole. Even though I didn't know them it has really affected me (especially as a mother) You are in my prayers and thoughts daily. May God comfort you at this time.

Lottie and Dennis, I was so sorry to hear about Joanah and Nicole. Dennis I know that when you quit working with Chuck we did not get to see you all anymore. But I want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We all loved Jonah and Nicole so much. Jonah had become like one of our kids. I remember when I took you to pick up Lottie and Nicole from the hospital, when we got to my house Jonah was asleep right beside Chuck and he spent the night.

I am sorry I missed the funeral, me and the kids had went on a field trip with the school.

Please know that we are thinking of you all.



Love,

Chuck, Sharon,"Lil" Chuck and Brittany

Your babies are in the arms of the Father:



I'm Free



Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I'm following the path God laid for me.



I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

to laugh, to love, to work, or play.



Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day.



If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things I too will miss.



Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much....



Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me...

God wanted me now, He set me free.
