TO THE FAMILY OF HENRY C. AVANT,SR.



Jesus said, "Let not your heart 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 and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself;

that where I am, there ye may be also." St. John 14:1-3



Oh behalf of The Hunter Family, may we express our heartfelt solidarity with you to comfort, encourage, and strengthen you and your family in this time of incredible sorrow.



We are praying that many precious memories sustain you. United with you in this moment of grief, we remain,



Sincerely Yours In Jesus Christ,

Bill Fead
