sometimes we may ask..."why did this happen to me?" it is not for us to ask, it is just for us to know that God does everything for a reason, and he makes no mistakes....He just needed some angles back home. may God be with your family always and uplift him in all your prayers......

Dear Niecey, Khiry & Family,
When lifes trials steal your joy and memories surround your hearts, when pain and heartache settles in your souls, remember it's heaven alone that makes you whole. As we are mourning the loss of our angel Anthony let the closed pockets of our souls open to the gracious, healing presence of God. There are going to be times when things will seem to be challenging, unfair or difficult, your heart will feel stretched and empty and the pools of tears will form in your weary eyes, still rejoice that God and Anthony is as near to you as your next breath.
Prayer:
May your experiences of pain and struggle in life be blessed with God's healing touch. May God's grace wash over you and weave together the tattered strands of your hurting soul, until your pain is eased into peace.
We'll Love You Always,
Dawn, Shanessa & Tierra
