For the last couple of years I worked with York he was always respectful and polite. He was a very nice person. To the family and friends always remember in the book of Psalm 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. The Lord will be there in the midnight hour and he will never leave or forsake you. If you put your trust in the Lord he will comfort you. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
