Dear Family,

My deepest sympathies are with you all during this difficult time. Please remember, my precious family, that in JESUS, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit. Ask HIM to bring comfort to your burdened soul and to pray for you as only HE can. I am also praying for you, and I am here for you all always. Please accept my sincerest apologies for not being able to attend Cousin Lillian's services today. My heart aches knowing that I can't be there to support you all during this difficult time, but if there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. I miss you all, and hope to see you again soon. Sending my love, comfort and support to you all today and always. GOD BLESS.
