To Lisa and Aileen



I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I pray that God strengthens and keeps your family during your time of bereavement. Lisa and Aileen, if your grandmother is like the both of you, then I know she is remarkable and will be greatly missed. I send greetings from Atlanta, because Lisa, you are like a sister to me and I know you were there when I lost my mom. Do know that your grandmother is resting in a better place and one day you will see her again.

To all of my Cousins...



"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ." 2nd. Corinthians 1:3-5



Somethimes it's so hard to understand the loss of a love one.



Especially one so dear as your Mother. But I want you to know that the comfort of a loving God is always very near...
