To Brenda T.C. Rocky and the Colbert Family,
My deepest condolences with all my heart at times like these, it's hard to find the right words to say and I truly know that word's alone won't take the pain away and even though it's hard to see through the tears that you cry just know that there will come a day when your tears God will dry and although word's alone, won't ease the pain you now feel just know that in time your heart GOD WILL HEAL. I pray for you all that God will give you inner peace and strengthen each and everyone's heart and although it's dark right now the sun will shine again. Slob was such a joy to be around and he will be Truly Missed. Hold on to all those lovely memories and pictures in a frame and no matter what circumstances you may have had to face and no matter what situations have taken place just know that God will see you through each and everyone of you. I am so heart broken to hear of your loss and I know that it's not easy dealing with what you are going through but Slob is that Angel that will be watching over You. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a Memory no one can Steal. This is a word to let you know that my Love and Prayer's are with you always. May God Bless you and your family. I Love you All.

First, I would like to give my condolences to the Colbert family during this time. I know this will be very hard but know that God makes no mistakes and will never put more on you than you can endure. Mr. Colbert is at peace and still smiling because he is no longer in pain. I pray that you all find strength to make it through.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Brenda, Sorry for your loss. James was a classmate of mine from Elementary through High School. I saw him at Krogers 2 years ago (I had not seen him since High School). He had the same smile. You and your Family are in my Prayers. May God continue to Bless You and your Family.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel in our hearts. Jim was a good friend and will be greatly missed. While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
Brenda, death leaves heartache no one but God can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal. When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart and you shall see that in the truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Remember, we love and care about you. I hope from my heart, that your pain will decrease, that your spirit will gain strength again and I Pray that your faith will create inner peace and that GOD WILL SEND BLESSING.
Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you and somethimes, it's just enough to know that they are standing by. We will always be here for you.
Love,
Larry, Phyllis, LaKeia & Lil Larry(Boo)
