To say I miss my grandmother is an understatement. She was the light in my life, always positive and supportive of anything I did or wanted to do. I'm so grateful that I got to live in a world where Cheryl Commodore existed. She is missed deeply by everyone that knew her. ♥

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences and prayer to the Commodore family. Cheryl was very sweet, caring, and always greeted me with a warm smile. We sang on the Adult choir together, but worked out in Zumba classes at least three time a week. She really loved a good fitness workout. I will miss you my friend. Rest in Sweet Heavenly Peace Cheryl!

I'm sorry to hear of the lost of your dear love one. May God be your secure htg. And sustain you thru this most difficult time. Psalm 9:9,10

October 14, 2013

To the Commodore Family: My Prayers are with you and your Family. In times such as these, remember that GOD does not and would not place anything upon us that our hearts could not bear.
For comfort refer to the King James Version and meet me at the "Book" of John (Chapter) 14: and let's walk together from verses 1 through 6.

________________________________________
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
