My deepest sympathy goes to Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, Sherlaine , Theres and Harold. God saw fit to make my path and Isaac's cross in the same direction in March 2006. I am very grateful for that meeting. Isaac and I became instant friends and I will forever cherish our friendship. Isaac will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him. I am still sadden by his death, but I know that the God we serve has never made a mistake. God will see all of us through this trying time and we should remember that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. Continue to be blessed and encouraged by our Father who is in Heaven.

A person so full of life, happiness, and love was taken from us, his family and friends, to be with our Lord. The family mourns but as believers we know that we are all here temporarily and once we fulfill our purpose we must move on. Congratulations my brother/cousin for fulfilling His purpose! I do look forward to seeing you again once my purpose is fulfilled. I love you and learned so much from you.
