To the Drayton Family the family has gone though a lot at the end of the year 2018 and a new year 2019 but God will not put no more on you then you can bear. Trust God I know it's hard but God will take you though all these difficult days ahead. To the family which is my family I pray much strength to all of us in the coming days. The chain has been broken but keep praying and trusting God he knows it all. God Bless you all and I will continue to pray for the family. I can remember 2017 Easter at my house Michael laughed, joked and we all had fun together. RIP Love you
