Lynette & Family,



I was sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I wish you comfort in the midst of pain, hope in the midst of sorrow and serenity in knowing that our loved ones that have passed on live on within the hearts of the ones that loved and cherished them, us.

"Those who bloom in the hearts of others never fade away"....May your memories give you comfort and strength.

When I lost my Grandmother her half-sister told me, "it's ok - she'll be spending her Christmas with Jesus and your Pappy (my Grandfather)". Thinking of you.....

Mrs. Carolyn & Family -



It was such a privilege for me to meet Mr. Skip on that Friday evening in July (July 16th) when I came to visit him. He had that sparkle in his eye that I will ALWAYS remember. I grieve with you and your family in your loss of a wonderful husband, father, son, grandfather, and great-grandfather. But I also rejoice with you in the assurance that Mr. Skip is alive and well forevermore, and that he sees his Lord and Saviour face to face.



I regret that I am unable to attend the services today (August 16th), but I hold ALL of you in my thoughts and prayers with MUCH love and affection.



May God grant you His comfort, love, peace and strength in the days and weeks ahead.



I love you all!

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me. Brother Skip, was a man of love, a man who had a true faith in the Lord Jesus, and a man who lived and followed Jesus. He was a man of faith. This was my brother in the Lord, who truly was used in many ways in the Lord. He was instumental in bringing this vessel to Baton Rouge from WA. State. Now, he is in heaven with Jesus he is in that cloud of witnesses. He will be missed, but at the same time he is truly a man who was never moved.
