Bro. & Sis. Stanford and Family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write after learning of the passing of both Robert Jr. and Solomon. I cannot express the sorrow that I now share with you upon learning of their passing. I take solace in the memories I have of watching them grow into the young men that they became during my time at Southside C.O.G.I.C. and how proud you both were of them. I will always remember Robert's growing musical prowess and Solomon's quite sense of humor. In the coming days, weeks, months and years, I pray for God's peace to overwhelm you and His love and strength to comfort you. Please know that you will always be in my prayers.
Love,
Bro. Terrell Hamm & Family

I want to say my heart truely goes out to the Stanford family. At this time my prayers of comfort and strength goes out to your entire family. It was such a blessing to know such a talented individual like Robert. I came to know Robert and Solomon through a family member(class mate) so long ago. I know the loss a love one is a pain no one wants to carry, so keep giving it to God for him to carry you through. May God continue to keep you with love and peace of mind.

To the Stanford Family,
I went to Wolfson with Robert and I can remember how well talented he was with the Saxophone. I can also remember how he tried to encourage me to stay in the marching band but I decided against it.
Robert is now playing his Sax with his heavenly Angels. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. God Bless!

There is no way for me to truly express in words the pain that I feel we all share with losing Robert and Solomon. I lost two very special and dear cousins. This has taught me the importance of keeping my family a high-priority and closer contact in a painful way. I pray that we are all someday reunited in the Kingdom of Heaven. I love you guys and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I went to Wolfson with Robert and now remember him on his sax. What an incredible blessing. He is so talented, and now he gets to play directly with the angels. His soul came through his music. I know he will find a peace with God that we on earth could never provide.

Wow, God moves mysteriously. Just yesterday I commented on the brightness of Solomon's smile and now knowing that they are both transitioned, telling you to trust God seems so minut. But the truth of the matter is, He is all you got. Pastor and Evangelist, you have helped so many people through tough times, now you are on the receiving end, and I tell you trust God.
To the entire Stanford Family, trust God- lean not to your own understanding, ... acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.
Well Done, thy good and faithful servant. The battle's been fought, the victory's been won. Enter now into thy Father's care.

“Our love and support will always be here for you.”
2 Corinthians 1:3 – Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
It is our Saviour who says, Let not your heart be troubled.
All comforts come from God, and our sweetest comforts are in him. He comforts us by the enlivening influences of the Holy Spirit, and by the rich mercies of his grace. He is able to bind up the broken-hearted, to heal the most painful wounds, and also to give hope and joy under the heaviest sorrows. The favours God bestows on us, are not only to make us cheerful, but also that we maybe strengthen during this time of lost of our love ones.
May God continually strengthen each of you day by day.
