Dear Onie, Elijah and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Detrease' sudden passing. Hold dear to your heart the precious memories of the joy Detrease brought to you. In the days, weeks and months ahead, may you find peace in knowing that God promises that "as your days, so shall your strength be" (Deuteronomy 33:25) and nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39).
Love,
Doll, Cozzi, Devan, Sheneal, Trey & Shealee
