It will be the little things

that you will remember

the quiet moments, the smiles,

the laughter.

And although it may

seem hard right now,

it will be the memory

of these little things

that help to push away the pain

and bring the smiles back again!

Sorry for the loss of your Father.

The fight of any individual against sickness or death shows us the struggle in which we all are placed-the struggle of darkness. When an attack of darkness comes upon you, you must put yourselve completely on the side of the light of Jesus!

---Dont weep over death you should rejoice I know its easier said than done but when you think about it he is going to better place no more struggle, no more pain, no more sickness.When you are up above with your master he makes sure you dont need or want for anything.So thank God because thats whose hands he is in now. *Charmaine Monique Mason and Gilbert family.
