Geraldine and Family, So sorry for your loss. Sylvia Carlisle
So sorry for your loss.
I'm going to miss Pop dearly. He was loving husband, father, and grandfather. A man who loved GOD and his wife and children/grandchildren. He was devoted to attending church and even when his health started to fail he would attend whenever he could. On occasion I or my brother would take him. Momma I know you are going to miss him but just be reminded, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. He's in a better place now, so cherish all the memories you have of him. May GOD continue to keep and strengthen you during your time of bereavement. Your other son Rolahac. 🙌🏽🙏🏽♥️
