To the family of "June"; words can't describe how all of you are taking the lost. I just want to thank you for sharing your husband, father, uncle, brother and grandfather with my family and I. I feel your pain and sorrow on this lost. Like the words go, "We love him but God loves him best". May he rest in peace with the love that he took with him of his family. Just think about the joy, laughs, hugs, kisses, jokes and happiness that he brought into your lives and don't dwell on the sad times.

With all of our Love and Support, Inez (Cleo), Shayla, Thaddeus, Divine, Izalee, John, Theo & David

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
Mrs. Marie Rouse & Family,
Sometimes, it's the little things that help us cope with loss-a photograph, a passing memory, a kindness that meant so much. These help sustain us as we wander through new feelings until we find our reserves of hope and strength within. May you and your family find a place inside you where the thoughts, prayers, and compassion of others bring you comfort.
