Dear Cuz: Rest in Peace. You are missed. When I came into the church on Saturday, I looked for you. I missed your smile and I could almost hear your voice. You were always there when we called. Thank you. You brought us all together once again. Thank you.

I'm am praying for your lovely Lucille, your son, your beautiful daughters, your sisters & brothers, and all of our family (including me). Dear God please bless & keep them, comfort them and give them your peace. You promised to send a Comforter and I know that you will send Him. Thank you for healing & for salvation. We know that we will see him again because of you. Thank you for letting him spend time with us before he came home to You. Amen.

With Love, LaLetta, Thomas, and Family.

God be with you till we meet again,
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again.
Refrain:
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again,
'Neath His wings securely hide you,
Daily manna still provide you,
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again,
When life's perils thick confound you,
Put His arms unfailing round you,
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again,
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Smite death's threat'ning wave before you,
God be with you till we meet again.

I never saw him not want to say a word or to encourage others to chime in (Help Me) or ( I've Said Enough) How he will be missed as he would always let us know that we were loved. His heart was so big, What more can be said, except that I am so glad he is not suffering anymore, and he is with his Lord and Savior. Truely A Good Man.
