May God Bless And Comfort You
By: Charles G. Turner, Sr.

At times like this when we don't know what to do
Just talk to God and he will see you through
When words sometimes just won't do and you don't know what to say
Just talk to God and let him have his way

When friends and family come and go
Just remember that God has an open door
At times like this when words alone won't do
May God bless and comfort you

God looked down on earth to fill a position in heaven that required a faithful follower. The position was offered to Leroy Cummings, for his resume was filled with service to others. Leroy accepted the position and now he is working in the spirit. There is a saying old soldiers never die they just slip away. Keep the faith Cummings Family GODS got Leroy.
