To the Starks Family in particular Shelia and Devin, always keep in mind that God loan us parents and grandparents. When He gets ready He return to get them and call them His own. Secondly, always remember when we pray we say "Lord let your will be done". what has happened to Bro. Starks is sure enough God's will. Last, always, again I say "always" remember God never makes mistakes!!! There is reward for those who labor in the Lord.
