Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo Alfred "Affie" Eskridge Family, Linda and I express our sorrow to all of you at this time over the death of Affie. Having grown up in the same home with him makes it the harder for Linda, especially after the recent passing of Fatman. We will always remember Affie in a happy way. We love all of you and we thank the Lord for the measure of strength He is providing to aide you in going through this valley of the shadow of death. Thomas A. Dorsey pinned the following: God be with you, God be with you, God be with you, till we meet again. I hope you will find comfort by listening to Rev. Jessie Dixon singing this hymn on YouTube. Remember: Psalm 34:18 -The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Hebrews 4:16 -So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Encourage yourselves in the Lord! Love, Linda and Wade
