Trust in him and lean on him. Have faith in him, for he will Never forsake you. I am certain that these words may not comfort you right now, but God will make a way for you to find peace and comfort in knowing that Anthony is now an Angel with our heavenly Father. Pray and hold on to the fond memories of your loved one and know that you will see him again.
To Mrs. Brenda Sumter, Janice Coatney Sumter and the rest of the Sumter family.

To my coworker Jonathon and family: God said, there is a crown waiting for you; come, sit at my feet, and take your rest. For the word also says, "absent from the body and present with the Lord'. Oh how your brother must be rejoicing and taking in the beautiful sights, until you all meet again. May God be with all of you.

Wow...this news is so shocking to me. I am sorry to hear about your lost. Mrs. Brenda-my high school mama-God is with you. He will continue to guide you through this all. Now Mr. Anthony and Tranae are in heaven together watching over you, Shanae, Shaniya and the entire family. Be blessed and know that I am here if you need me.

Our Father claims His own.
There's an open door at the end of the road through which each of us must go alone, and therein a light we cannot see. He calls us home to grant happiness, peace and rest. Be comforted and find strength with your faith knowing that He indeed knows best.
We Love You, Susan, Brandye and Ivan

Until We Meet Again
by Unknown

Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing will be the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
