To the family of Eddie Lawrence Jefferson: I submit to you my condolences on the demise of your loved one, Brother Eddie Jefferson.

Beyond the fact that he is gone is

one more consoling fact .... Brother Jefferson's days of physical and mental agony are over.



Deep within your mental skies, you

will come to realize that, specifically and pointedly, God made no promises of longevity. And above all else, he never

does anything before it's time.



"Peace be with you in this knowledge."
