To The Church, Young and Thomas Families:
We are So Sorry to hear of The Homegoing of Your precious Ericka. Please know that we will be Praying That GOD will Shower You All With His Strength, Peace and Comfort, not only Today But in the Days to Come As Well. May the Sweet, Wonderful Memories She left You All keep Her Alive in Your Hearts Forever Until We Too Shall Meet Her At Our At Our Eternal Homes As Well. To Be Absent in The Body Is To Be Present With The Lord. Erika is just taking Her Rightful Rest and at the Sound Of The Trumpet When Jesus Shall Return, He Shall Wake Her From That Rest and Clothe Her With Her New And Glorious Body.
May These Words Comfort You. "Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled: Ye Believe In God, Believe Also In Me. In My Father's House Are Many Mansions: If It Were not So, I Would Have Told You. I Go To Prepare A Place For You. And If I Go Prepare A Place For You, I Will Come Again, And Receive You Unto Myself; That Where I Am, There Ye May Be Also" John 14:1-3
"With Heartfelt Sympathy"
