It's with Great sorrow and brokeness that I send condolences to Mrs. Nora Chin and Family.. It has taken me sometimes and heaviness I felt in my heart, But I take comfort in knowing that the Bible tells us, "That to be absent from the body, Is to be Present with The Lord"... My Heart can rejoice that He made His peace with God and that He knew the true Living GOD. And From the out pouring of those who send you words of comfort at this time. Mrs Chin you raised Gregory up in the right way an until the end he did not depart from it!!!! Always keeping his loving personality in rememberence.. I don't care how long I would be gone away from church. He always made his way to come speak or hug me! The true love of God. I love you all with the Love of God!!!!

Words can not express the feeling of losing a love one. It is even harder when we lose a young person. Our heart and love goes out to our Church family member Sis. Chin and brother Jamie and our Church Family. We will never forget you Lamar. I remember everytime you came to my house the first thing you would ask me was, What you cook, then smile at me. I will always remember that. I thank God for knowing you. Our prayers are with you Sis. Chin and Jamie.
