Mr and Mrs Doughty

Words can not express what I want to say to you in the lost of your son. I miss him like CRAZY so I can't image what you all are going through. I just want to say that EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT JESUS CAN NOT HEAL. I also want to say that even though Damion is not hear with us physically, he is still here spirtually. I want to also say thank you for being there for me and opening your home to me. Damion will truly be miss by all. If you need me for anything just call you have the number.



Love always

NaNa was a quiet spirit. He stood out from all the rest. I truly believe there's a special place in Heaven for him.

I would like to express my most deepest and heartfelt condolences during your time of grief! I am not sure as to what words to use as a source of comfort during this difficult time, so allow me to leave you with this;

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts...

God knows how hard you have tried.





When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish...

God has counted your tears.





If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by...

God is waiting with you.





When you're lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone call...

God is by your side.





When you think you've tried everything and don't know where to turn...

God has a solution.





When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated...

God has the answer.





If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope...

God has whispered to you.





When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for...

God has blessed you.





When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe...

God has smiled upon you.





When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow...

God has opened your eyes and called you by name.





Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are facing...

GOD KNOWS!



Love,

Devita(Zynise's Bestfriend)

Cliff and family,



May God be with you during this time of your bereavement. I will not even attempt to say "I understand your sorrow" - because it is not for me to say - only He knows, but I do believe that He will not put on you more than you can bear.



Your co-worker and friend,

Frances Jones
