To one of my favorites aunts. I will truly miss her. I can still hear her say, " Freddie you done got so faaaat!!!!" Or "boy you look just like Earl!!!" The last time i saw her she just looked like she was very weary. I am glad to have known her and that God chose me to be her nephew. If you need any thing Rik just holla at us.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He Leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me; You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil' my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Sincere Condolences,
The Burt/Flood family

My condolences goes out to the Bynum family. She is in a much better place where no more suffering is permitted.
I must say it was a pleasure to get to know and to care for her. I was sadden by her passing I had came in on Thursday night to see her only to find a empty bed. She faught her battle now it is time to go home and collect her reward.
May God guide the Bynum family in your time of need.

To my dearest cousin Van, I'll miss you with all my heart. You were definitely one of my favorite people. It was "always" a pleasure to see your warm smile and beautiful bright eyes. I'm sure you and Gavin are having a grand time. Give all the great ones who have gone home before us a big hug and kiss for me... Until I see you again, cousin Dawn and Nadia
