Dear Tara, I am very sorry for your loss. I know there is nothing I can say to ease your grief, because I have been through the same situation. Just know that I care and if there is anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask. I am praying for you and asking the Lord to continue to comfort you.

Love, Joe Ann Ellis, Faith Tabernacle, UHC,

Tara,

We stand in prayer (intercession) for you asking the Holy Spirit to comfort you during your time of mourning. Continue to seek God's direction for your life knowing that He and only He, will and can, fill the void that is left when a parent transitions from this life.

May the power of God's Spirit surround you now and forever more.

Dear Tara,

I know there are no words that I can even utter right now to make you feel better. Knowing your father was a true honor for me. I had the priveledge serving him as his Property Manager. I enjoyed arriving at Park Plaza and having my coffee in the Cafe with your dad. He was a man of many words, he was also a great man of character. He always knew the right times to come to my office to encourage me, and I will always be grateful to you for allowing me to experience what Eddie truly embodied: "Excellence, and Kindness". I only pray that more people could be like your father. I will miss him, and I will use his example and apply it to my daily life. May the LORD continue to bless you and your family.

Tara,

I was one of the ones that prayed for your strength and God's will to be done when I heard your dad was sent to Intensive Care and getting no better. I was praying and still am praying your strength and comfort in the Lord.

He knows what's best for us, although our weary eyes can't see; I've sat in your seat and came to understand why I said thank you Lord. To not see my dad and mom suffer and no one able to comfort and ease their pain, God made His will clearer and He will help you to understand the mysteries in your sorrow too.

I pray you find comfort in the words I've written and know that God will take care of you and all that applies to you, just keep Him first.

Dear Tara:

I know that this is a hard time in your life right now. Know that you have many friends who love and are praying for you. You may ask how I can make the statement that I know what you are going through--well I my father went home to be with Jesus when I was a teenager. I want to say to you to hold onto God's unchanging hand. If there is anything that I can assist you with don't hesitate to ask.

Love ya!
