I graduated with Bracey and admired him. I am saddened to hear of his leaving us but know that we should rejoice for him but we grieve for ourselves. May God bless and comfort you and your family as you travel this path.

Miss Roberta, I was so saddened when I came to church Wednesday night and found out that Bracey had gone home to be with his Lord and Savior. Saddened for you, but pleased for him because he is no longer in pain and suffering, struggling for breath.
I thank God that as Christians, we have an endless hope rather than the hopeless end that people who don't know our Lord have. It is a great comfort to know that you will one day be able to see one another in Heaven.
I pray that God will grant you the strength and endurance to make it through the coming days of adjustment. I am asking Him to send the Holy Spirit with His promise to be our Comforter and that He will wrap you in His arms of love and compassion. May God bless and be with you and your family.
Love in Christ,
Brenda Carson
