Mrs. Lewis and Family:
There are no words of humankind that can express ones thoughts; however we can take comfort in our Lord's words: that we grieve not as the world grieves, for our Hope, our Faith rests with the Promises of God: I am the resurrection and the life, that whoever believes in me shall never die.
Our prayers and love surround you.
In Him,
Henderson and Michelle Ellis

To the Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time of transistion. I have many memories of growing up with you all on Marcy street. Mommy and Marie sitting outside gossiping half the night! The friendship our parents shared before we were even born. Ironically, now some of our children are even friends! Cherish the memories you have, for they will always be precious to you. Continue to keep your hands in God's hand, He will never let you go. I've been where you are now, so I know this to be true. May He continue to bless and keep all of you.
