Dear Tarique, Sean, Cousin Naomi and the rest of the family. There are no words that I can say that will ease your pain. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Below is a poem that I hope that will give you comfort:

Just Call On Me



I can't comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you're looking for strength from above.



I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.



Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I'm waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I'll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.



Deep condolences,Annette Gethers
