Praying for the families. RIP Sterling. We're going to miss you classmate.
Sending condolences and praying for the Richmond families in their time of bereavement. Weeping may endureth for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning. I've known and had some good times with Sterling throughout our high school years together. He was a good friend of mine, true friend. Rest in peace my brother. We miss and love you dearly.
"Each one of us will someday walk that final path, it's true. And now someone you dearly love has walked this pathway, too. May you find comfort in God's words, "You shall not walk alone," And may you trust in God above, until He, too, calls you home."
With Deepest Sympathy, Dinah Giles & Family
