This poem is in loving memory of Sheldon M. Tucker, 10/18/78~09/19/11

My eyes have cried tears & my heart's filled with pain;
Our loss here on earth, has become your heavenly gain.

You left us so quickly, that we just don't understand;
We rest in knowing, that you're resting peacefully in the palm of the Father's hand!

One day when it's all over & all is said & done;
We'll celebrate once more together, for all our victories won!

This is merely a pause & not a means to the end;
I'll see you on the other side, one day my friend!!!

It is with great regret to hear of your loss! We share in your sorrow and grief, and are aware of the fact that it feels like "time has come to a complete stop." We know that every time you come up for air, the pain almost seems unbearable; however, PLEASE KNOW that there is a “BUT” in all of this grief ....BUT GOD WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH THIS! It may not seem like it right now, BUT HE is carrying you. It may not feel like it right now, BUT GOD is carrying you. You may not even know how or what to say and think, BUT GOD is carrying your through all of this. God will never leave you nor forsake you, ever!

Maria, our prayers are quadrupled for you and the children. God is a great big God and He is touched by our infirmities. Cry out to Him and He will remove your pain.

Pastor Larry & Retha, Mother Hall sends her love and is standing in the gap for you right now! “Words cannot express the love and admiration that we have for you.”

To the Tucker family,

I love all of you so much, I am praying for the family. What I had to learn and am still learning is to trust in God during times like these knowing that he knows everything and he will not put more on you than you can bare. Another one of Gods "Angels" has gone home to be with him. Remember the good times whenever you're feeling sad; remember how much he loved his family and how much he loved God. I remember when Sheldon and I would get together and send up praises to God through music. I remember every time we played together the anointing would fill the building and God would move in such a mighty way…. There was no other musician out there that I had such a spiritual connection with. He will always and forever remain in my heart….Only God knows. I would also like to say thank you for supporting me and my family in our time of need. May God bless you and yours!

The Bible reminds us that "Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted."
I pray that God will give you the strength to see you through this difficult time. I'm praying with you and for you.

In Faith & Sympathy,

Rev. Samuel Scales

September 22, 2011

Jesus Christ came to this world, so that the mortal might be clothed with immortality. Now the saying that was written has come true. Death itself has been swallowed up in victory. Now we can say with hope in our hearts, O death, where is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The loss of life, is always great but as long as we know, that loved ones rest in God's hands and they still they live inside our hearts, they are NEVER, ever gone. They are merely "away". Death is not a "period" that ends life, it is a "comma" that takes us to a more loftier existance. May God bless your entire and extended family, during this very trying time.
