As a teenager, I use to sit with the boys when Mr. Bryant left for work. He was a kind and generous employer. He was a good neighbor always willing to lend a helping hand.
May the family find comfort in knowing that he suffers no more and rests peacefuly in God's arm. We will be lifting you in prayer and please let us know if we can assist you in any way.
