To the Family of the Late and Dearly missed Sherita:



My prayers and blessings go out to you from the bottom of my heart. I didn't know her on personal level, but knew her from going to church at New Bethel AME in Quincy. It hurts me to know that it happened and am very saddened by the fact. The Lord doesn't give us more than we can bear. Therefore, "No Weapon formed Against Us, Shall Prosper." He has a plan for all of us...and that plan in to be back in the House/Kingdom with Him. May your troubles be soothed and your prayers be answered.



Prayers & Blessings,

To our cousins, Carl & Deborah Ward and family. Words cannot express the sympathy that we feel in the lost of your precious child. Only Jesus' love and time can heal your aching hearts. Sharita's loving and gentle smile will always be remembered in our hearts and minds forever. We know not why God does or allows things the way he does, but He is God. He still loves you, we love you and the only way to endure our loss is through love. With the love of God and loving one another, with prayer, will see you through. We are praying for you all.
