Remember----
John 14
(Jesus Comforts His Disciples)
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."

To Shannon and Brenda:

You have my deepest sympathy in the lost of Nicholas. I just found out he had gone home to be with the Lord this afternoon. But truly I know he is in a better place than we are. I remember the first day he came into my office at SUNO and I found out that his father was Shannon. We truly made a bind. I lost contact with him until I taught your nephew Samuel Greer and I saw him at your home. He was always a happy person to me. But just to let you know one thing there is a man I know name "Jesus" he's waiting for you to come and lean on his shoulders and leave all your worries with him. Remember he is on the main line, call him up and tell him all about it.

Love always,

Cousin Brenda and Shannon,
Know that Nick "paid it forward". You were my big sis/brother and Nick was truly a big brother to my daughter, his cousin, Keiva, during high school. He looked out for her and I am eternally grateful. Know that we love you and God will keep you in His perfect peace.

To Brenda, Shannon and the Ferrand Family:
It is with much sympathy I write to send my love and even the love comes riding on the wings of a prayer. Just hold on to each other. Nick will be missed by all of us. I'll always remember that little baby Geep & Denise brought up to the farm when they visited, then seeing him going to college. May you find hope in God that this sad time will pass. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. It is a one-day-at-a time deal and you know I know from experience. I will be here for you when you are ready to talk. For now just know that you are loved.
