Kenny and Judy, There are very few comforting words to say in a time like this. My grandmother used to say after a death of a person she loved that "Heaven is a much more beautiful place today". That is so very true and hold on to your memories and your family and friends in the coming days. Love you both, Norma & Press

Kenny and Judy, This is Curtis Miller's mom. I just want you both to know that Curtis loved David and now loves his whole family. He will be missed and I can not imagine how you both must feel. My prayers are with you all and I know the Holy Spirit will give you the comfort you need in this hour and the hours ahead. Find comfort in knowing that death is not the end but the beginnning of a new phase of life where there is no sickness or pain. Where everything is perfect and there is no SIN. Know that you are only seperated for awhile. I pray you find peace in these words.

We will be praying for your family and Wesley daily.
