Jettie, Detra and the entire family,
We are at a loss for words during this very sad time. The question, Why? will remain until we see the Father face to face. Until that time, it is imperative to keep looking up towards the hills from which cometh our help. I have heard only good things about your son and grandson. I trust that the support of those around you, along with your memory of him will bring you some comfort. Know that we at Agape Health and C N A academy are here should you need to call upon us. May the peace of God rest, reign and rule in your hearts and minds through Our savior and redeemer. Because, He Lives....

"Hey Boo Boo and Yogi too" that was my greeting to him everyday as he walked by on his way to class. He was one of the sweetest young men around the school. Warm smile, beautiful spirit. I pray for comfort for all of us. It has been a very hard week but I take comfort in knowing that he is resting in the arms of the Father, and he is at peace. We will miss him, but one day we all will see him again. My prayers for ALL that knew and loved this wonderful young man. May the God of mercy heal all of our hearts from this deep hurt that we feel. May the God of grace, grant us all strength as we struggle to understand. May the God of Love, grant us all peace to accept what is. P. James

There is no pain like the lost of a child- I know and even though you know it's God's will it is still hard to bear. Put your trust in the Lord and know that he will always be there for you. You will never get over this,but you will get through it.Thank God for the time you had together and cherish the memories that will forever be with you. I pray God put his loving arms around you and give you peace."Give thanks to the Lord ,for he is good. His love endures forever"Psalm 136:1
