To My friend Vamond:
May God be with in your time of loss. Read this and hopefully you will feel a little RELIEF!!!
Remember God's Gracious Love!
The Sovereign Most High God is ruler over our lives. So it's obvious that if we ever have the feeling of relief, God has given it to us. He's the author of relief. He's the one who grants us the peace, the satisfaction, the ease. In fact, I think relief is a wonderful synonym for mercy. Mercy is God's active compassion, which he demonstrates to the miserable. When we are in a time of deep distress and God activates his compassion to bring about relief, we've experienced mercy....
The connecting link between a holy God and a sinful person is God's love, which activates his grace, which, in turn, sets in motion his mercy. They're like divine dominoes that bump up against one another. He loves us not because of something in ourselves but because of something in Himself......Grace prompts mercy......and there it is: RELIEF!

In the book of John it says, "Let not your heart be troubled; ye that believe in God believe also in me." Although your loss was a sudden tragedy know that God is still with you and your family. Continue to keep God first and he will continue to direct your paths because his rod and his staff will comfort you. I Love all of you deerly!

To Lessie Ash and Family:
It was with a saddened surprise to learn of the death of your grandson. I know that it is always a terrible shock when someone so close to you passes away. I know that he was loved by many and will be missed by all. I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy and the hope that the kind words of your family and friends will make this difficult time a bit easier to bear. There are two things to help you draw on God’s strength during these most difficult times. First, ask for it in prayer. (Luke 11:10-13) Second, draw strength from the Bible. (Hebrews 4:12). My prayers are with you and your family.

To: Elder Vincent and Missionary Gwen Smith, Vamonde, Vintesha, Mychell, Caleb and Vincent II and Mother Lessie:
We want you to know that our prayers are with all of you. We too love V.J. and will miss his beautiful smile and his caring and fun-loving spirit. We will never forget how this wonderful young man touched each of our lives in such a special way. We will never forget all the fun we had with V.J., Vamonde, and Vintesha - playing in the yard as little children, swimming and eating all Ma Lessie's good cooking. Elder Vince and Missionary Gwen, you both have always been there when we needed you. You have been our "Rock of Gibralter." Please know that at this time, you can lean on us for anything. Thank you for all the good times with V.J. and for accepting us all as members of your family. We love you dearly and we love V.J. dearly. We know he is with our Jehovah God beckoning us to be strong for each other. Yes we all love V.J., but our Lord God loves him best. Our God takes the best to prepare the rest of us. God's love and peace to you all.

To the family of Vincent Smith II my prayers and deepest sympathy are with you at this time. Please know that my prayer is for God to hold and comfort you in the cradle of his arms during your time of bereavement. Vince was my classmate at FAMU High. He was a very kind young man and whenever I saw him he always had that cute little smile on his face as if he knew something we didn't. I know he will truly be missed!!!

I never met your son in the days he was here.
I missed an opportunity to meet someone so dear.
I've heard his baby stories from Missionary Rolle.
She's my inspiration if I let the truth be told.
I know your lost is profound & only God knows your pain.
Remember God is in Control in Sunshine and in Rain.
I know your son's life is so very precious to you.
God knows just how you feel, His son passed too.
So, as we consider Jesus Christ and His rising on the 3rd day.
We know that God our Father will ALWAYS make everything okay.
In Jesus Name.....

To Vincent and Gwen words can not express my sincere sympathy and prayers for you and your family. It seems as though it was just yesterday when we gathered to prepare food for the boys games and traveled up and down the highway. Vincent was always a well mannered and polite young man. I can picture his beautiful smile. On behalf of all the football parents your loss is a loss that we all share in a special way. There are many things that can be said about FAMU High but our family closeness is something that is unquie and should be treasured. Ms. Alexander, Brian, Clifford and myself have purchased a special football flower for Vincent service, in memory of his dedication to the team. We love you and your family. May God continue to wrap you in his word. I will contact you at a later date.

Please accept our prayers for you and your family during this time of sorrow. Vince Smith has been my pharmacist for years and years - first when I was a Blackwood and now as a Crayton. My parents, Russel and Maryann Blackwood also send their prayers to you Vince. Please let me know of anything that I can do to make this an easier time for you. God Bless each and every one of you and I am sure that your son would have been a true asset to our community. He will be remembered always.
