To my mother, Barbara and Pam. Circumstances prevented me from being there with you in person, but my love and prayers were with you all the time. Your husband/father is home in Heaven. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed. He is now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. You must not tie yourself to him with too many tears. Be thankful he was in your life so many good years. Now is the time he has to travel on alone, so grieve for him a while, if grieve you must. Treasure the loving fond memories. Express your love to ease your pain so that you may begin to heal and look for joy again. Our family chain is broken, and life is not the same. But as God calls us one by one, our chain will link again. Love you, Vivian, James, Dedra & Marcell McKnight

Sis Gordon and family, my wife and I offer you our sincere condolences at the loss of your hubby and our Christian brother, Herbert. Unfortunately, both of us will be out of town on Friday but both of you will be foremost in our prayers and thoughts. Your hubby was a beautiful man who loved the Lord. If we are all faithful and true to God's commands, we will see him again on that great day. Remember to be absent from this world , to the believer that dies in Christ, is to be present with God. May God keep you strong during this period of bereavement.

With my deepest sympathy on the passing of your Father. Your in my heart, thoughts, and prayers at this time of mournig. Also, your in my heart every day since I first met you and it goes without saying that I always include you in my prayers!

Ms. Knight, when you need to see,feel, or hear your father, stand in front of a mirror, place yur hand over your heart, feel that thump or beat in your heart? That's your father saying, Carolyn, "I'm right here for you with you always, I'm so proud of you honey,and I'll love you forever! Ms. Knight, your dad's blood flows through you and each of your family members! So if anyone ever needs to feel him or talk to your Father, all they have to do is place his or her hand over their heart to feel that beat because it's your Father telling them, I'm right here always, listening, loving each of you until we meet again in Heaven! You and your family are your Father's legacy, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and the Future! He'll never be far away!

Love You, Ms. Knight yesterday, today, tomorrow, and in the future! Amber and David also sends their deepest sympathy during your time of mourning!

Sincerely,

And, With much love to you and your family.


Love,

Kathy Mandy
