Joyce, there are no perfect words that can adequately express our sympathy in this, your time of profound sorrow. But know that many prayers are being lifted up in Memphis on behalf of your family, committing you into the perfect hands of the One who alone can provide His perfect peace and comfort - even in the things that we wrestle to comprehend! Love You!

To the Patillo Family, Shalondia, You have my deepest sympathy. Only six weeks ago I stood in the same seat of tragedy and it's no easy matter. I wish I could offer or say more, but my heart is broken as yours in a thousand pieces. People tell me it will get better. I'm not convinced, but I do know God is still God and who else can we trust!

TO CEOLA, JOHN, TRACY & FAMILY
When days are sad and lonely
Everthing seems to go wrong,
We sing to hear you whisper;
"Cheer up and Carry on,"
Each time we see your picture;
It seems to smile and say,
"DON'T CRY I'M IN GOD'S KEEPING"
I'll see you again someday.
