Dear Family,
Much sorrow fills my heart, as I share with you the loss of Uncle Bat, here on this earthly domain.
But much joy overwhelms me, for I know that he has gone home with our Father, God and our Savior, Jesus Christ!
No more tears, sorrow or pain, but peace and love surmountable as we all meet together, one day and rejoice in heavenly eternity with our FATHER AND ALL OF OUR LOVED ONES IN GLORY, HALLELUJAH!!!
Much love and peace,
The Slocums,
Joy, Calvin, Amira and Eliana
P.S. We love you all; be encouraged!

T-Weez & Family,
I can only imagine what a huge hole this loss has left in each of your hearts. Uncle Bat was all that a husband and father should exemplify and it was such a pleasure to know him as family.
I will miss him dearly and can now let the many memories of him my family and I have serve as his memorial.
Peace and blessing to you all in your time of bereavement.
Love Gilda & Family

My dear friend,
God lent you one of His angels and me a true friend so fair. But He called him back home because He needed him there. He wanted you to know what it meant to be loved.
Now, your one true love is one with God in Heaven above. Please know how we love you, my wonderful friend, and we'll always be with you, to life's end. Take care and be strong. We love you, Weezie. Shirley, Leslie, and the girls.

This is the operator sending a message to you. Mr. Baptiste always called me the operator. You know we will miss him dearly. The sorrow will be there for quite some time. I do know we love all of you and we are constantly keeping you in prayer.
Mrs. Elouise call if you need us and hopefully we can all visit each other again very soon. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
We love you,
