Mom Coutee and the Coutee family; sometimes there are not enough words and at other times words are not enough. I must say that this is one of those times. I know that the grief you are experiencing right now may seem overwhelming but there is comfort in knowing that God will keep his promise and give Ann eternal peace. As with all of you, Ann welcomed me openly and always had a smile and a kind word. She is missed. May God strengthen all of you during this difficult time.

"Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strenghten you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will upold you with My righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10

Bronwyn and the Coutee Family,
No words can express how hard it is to deal with the loss of someone you love. Seeing Ann's picture reminded me of the first time I met her, when she visited Bronwyn at Howard. We all had such a good time and she was so much fun. I LOVE YOU Bronwyn, Momma and Family. I am sorry that I could not be with you during the funeral. My experience with the loss of a love one is that GOD will send an abundance of comfort to you. You are in my prayers.

To Marlon and Family:

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:38-39)

My prayers are with you and your family,

Grace, peace & blessings family! My heart is heavy @ the rememberance of the beautiful smile of my cousin Ann of whom our Father saw fit to give her rest from the pains of this mortal flesh. Be strong in the wisdom that our Father lives FOREVER, as well as the beautiful spirit that he endowed in Ann which will remain in our hearts until he brings us all together in eternity.
