To the Ferguson and Kennedy Family,

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.II Corinthians 1:3-5.

Always remember Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Be Blessed.

The Young,McDowell,Wahington, and Scott Family,
Julvonnia Young-McDowell, Barbara Young, Chatasha Roberts, Herbert Young, Craig Young, Rudell Young, Sandra Young, Markeisha Williams, Jamah Washington, Kwania Scott/Savannah, GA
