Karen,

I just learned about the passing of your mother and I am truly sorry that I did not know until today, however my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family during this very difficult time.

To Mabel, Karen and family,
I was very sorry to hear the loss of your mother. My heart, prayers and condolences go out to you during this time of grief. Surely, the days ahead will be the toughest of times, but with the help of the Lord, coupled with support from family and friends, the burden will slowly ease and the days will brighten.
Although I'm sending this message from miles away, consider me right around the corner...just like our days together, starting out, back at 'Blackwell'. We've come along way since those early days, and it would do your mother very well to see her children and grandchildren go on in 'this life' to prosperity, and to make her proud.
Once again, I'm deeply sorry for your loss and if there's anything I can do to ease your pain, feel free to get in touch...if for nothing more than to reminisce the days the days of old.

A Lifetime Friend,

Jerome Taylor
