Psalm 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the passing of his saints.

Dear Sis Jean,

Arthur and I extend our deepest condolences in the loss of our beloved brother in Christ. We pray God's choice blessings of strength, comfort and peace upon you and all persons affected by this loss. What a great, smart, courage and strong guy Ed was. Never complained about his illness. He is an example for those persons who find it difficult to cope with disabilities. He is gone, but never forgotten.God's name be praised as you cherish the precious memories.

My Prayers are with the Cossey family. His Mother and Grand Mother were very close friends of mine. I would take his mother to Bethel when I was in Hampton. May God welcome home another of his children.
