To Jan, Angie, Ricardo and Daryl,



I just wanted to let you know that I will never forget Ms. Cleo and all of the good times we shared in Orchard Gardens. I will continue to pray the Lord will give you the strength to carry on the rest of your lives without her. The road ahead is rough, and the battle will be tough. Just remember the battle is not yours, it's the Lord. Don't try to handle it alone, take it to the Lord in prayer and he will see you through. If there is anything I can do to help you during this time or anytime, you know I'm just a telephone call away.

To the Chavers & Blowe Families

Every loss of a loved one in Christ

is also a celebration. For in the pain

of saying goodbye also comes the realization that Jesus has greeted your

loved one with "Welcome Home."

With deepest sympathy!

I was so sorry to hear of "Ms. Cleo's" death. Although I haven't seen many of you since I left Smithfield, I have often thought with great affection and pleasure of our more youthful days growing up in Ochard Garden. While I realize no words of mine can ease your loss, I will pray that the love of family and friends will be a source of comfort and strength for everyone who knew and loved "Ms. Cleo".
