I asked God to send your family peace and comfort and He will give them rest. It won't happen over night...but when you serve God, he doesn't let you suffer or have pain. So every moment that you get just stop and ask Him to give you understanding, help you through the pain and give you peace.

We don't always know what God has in store for us. All we can do is trust God because he knows best. I know that this is a very sad time for your family and that words can't explain the true feelings that we feel deep inside. I don't know what to say but Damien I'll miss you (although you didn't talk much and to Aunt Peggy and kids keep your head up.
Love

Nita,Omar,Yvette
I want you all to know that if God be for you, who can be against you. Remember that God is your fortress, and refuge, and in him there is salvation. Damien is with his heavenly father now. He shared with me that he recieved the Lord as his savior, and he would watch my ministry every Tuesday night. We will truly miss his sense of humor and his conversations. I am praying for your family. Omar, God has this. Romans 12:17-19. Nita, the joy of the Lord is your strength. Yvette keep smiling and looking towards the hills from where your help comes from, because it comes from the Lord.
God bless you all,

To Damien's family and friends at this time of Need
From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always
Trinette & LaVerne (Mother & Daughter)
You and your family are in our prayers.
God was ready for his angel, so he called him home.
Rest in peace Damien - We know you will always be near
