My prayers and condolences are with the Steele family and Tracie Harris. Today is the first time I heard of TY. I remember when TY, Tracie and the kids stopped in Beckley, WV to visit me and my sister back in 2001 or 2002. That was the last time I seen him. He was a wonderful person with a wonderful, funny laugh and loved softball (17ers). My prayers are with the entire family. God bless you all and keep you strong. w/love

I've never thought I would see this day. I've been thinking about you for a few weeks now wondering why you haven't called. You are my best friend and only we knew that. I felt it down in my soul that something wasn't right when you didn't call me on my birthday. You died 10 days before my birthday and I didn't even know. I was so afraid to look in the obituary.... May God be with you. I will always love you and I know I will see you again. I hate that I live all the way in South Carolina and I had to call your mother today Aug. 31, 2009 to get the worst news of my life. My best friend is gone forever...

Love

To the Steele family:
For God so loved the world...
As you carry on with your lives during this difficult time, may you find comfort in knowing that God loves you.
Have faith in his word and take comfort in knowing that if God brings you to it, he can bring you through it.
Otis has done what we all must one day do and his going home serves as a reminder for those of us still here, that the time is now to decide where we will spend eternity. May God bless and keep you.

To my family......

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

R.I.P. Tyrone...

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly
in death we do the same.
You did not go alone;
for part of use went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
and although we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again. To The family Peace I Leave with you.... let not your heart be troubled,neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

August 14, 2009

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

August 14, 2009

To the Steele Family:
I met TY when he first moved up here. He was always nice and respectful and a very caring person. He even visited my mom in the hospital when she had her heart attack and by-pass surgery.I will miss his smile and his fast southern accent. My family is deeply saddened by the loss of TY but we are deep in faith of Our Lord and Savior Jesus that TY is with him now and surely in a much better place. Your family will always remain in my prayers. God Bless you all!
