To: Davonda Dix-Brown and Adrian; Ms. Hannah; Joyce and the rest of the family,
Joe and I are sorry to hear about the demise of your loved one. Our prayers are with you. Even though we know that we all must go home one day; it is still the missing of our love ones not being around. I hope that it is comforting knowing that in our lives a little rain must fall. If there were no rain; we wouldn't know how to appreciate the sunshine.
Pray without ceasing, In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
