To my family Suzette and Silas G. in the lost of your dad and my Uncle Silas. There are no words that can be said when you lose a love one, but to know that the memories you have will be the glue that makes you strong in this hour. Let the love that you have one to another keep you and to know that our Lord is just and fair. He knew that on that morning Uncle Silas journey would end here and begin in eternity. We will miss him knowing that he has left us here to live on and to enjoy life until that day when we shall meet again. His sister my mom (Rachel) was always talking about Uncle Silas and was sadden to hear the news about her baby brother. Know that we care and that we are praying for you to have peace, love and joy with understanding.

May the Grace of Our Lord keep you,

Your Cousin
