Dear William I may not have called often but you were on my mind often. We shared a lot of crazy times together and did a lot of crazy things and the one thing that stood out from all of the things was how you always found time to call on my birthday and I did the same to you. It was our little thing that we shared. No big reason just showing love to one another. Well, cuz Michael Earl as you use to call me will one day see you soon when God closes my eyes and judgement day is upon us, I pray I'll see you standing at Heaven's gate as we enter into His Kingdom. Rest well my brother ' til we meet again.❤️🙏🏾

When sorrows come, God's promises are shining rays of hope that break through cloudy skies brings us warmth and helps us cope. He promises to love us and to hear our every prayer. He promises to comfort and guide us and to always just be there. He also promises to give us strength to weather any storm and to be someone we can lean on who will keep us safe. God will never leave us alone when skies are gray. As long as we believe and trust, his love will light our way(Hebrews 13:5). Take all the time you need to grieve. It's ok to cry and mourn, never let anyone tell you any different. Remember, even Jesus wept when he found out that Lazarus died(John 11:33-35). Sending Peace that passes all understanding, Love that conquers all & Blessings that God promised you.

My prayers are with the family. The class of 1986 is sad to lose another classmate especially the president. Memories will live on.
