Lord, I pray for your mercy, unconditional love, peace that surpasses all understanding, and an undying strength that only you can give. Lord, cover my niece, great-niece and the entire family as only you can do. While Noone has words at this time we can offer our love, a hug, a meal, acts of service, and whatever is needed with your guidance during this time of grief, Lord. Christopher, my great-nephew, you were loved by many, your family, co-workers, and friends and you will never be forgotten. Your smile, sense of humor, and kindness that you shared so freely will never be forgotten and will forever live on in our hearts. A beautiful soul, gone too soon, but will never be forgotten. I will love you always and forever, Chris, your great-aunt Shelia.
Azaria, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your boyfriend. My deepest condolences to you and family. ❤️
Sorry for your lost I would like to share a poem.
"Marching On With a Smile"
He served with honor, stood tall and true, A soldier, a son, with a heart that flew. Now Heaven's got him in uniform again, Probably saluting and cracking a grin. He's telling stories to the saints up high, About boot camp days and sweet potato pie. Still bold, still brave, still full of charm. Now resting forever in God's strong arm. Though your hearts are heavy, your tears may fall, Know he's still with you, through it all. In every sunrise, in every prayer, He's marching on—with love, and flair. So laugh when you remember, cry when you must, But trust in the Lord, in His mercy and trust. For your soldier's not gone, just called to rest. Promoted to glory, among Heaven's best.
I will love you forever and always. Because of you, I know how it feels to be unconditionally loved. I will cherish every memory we have and every moment we've spent together. Please be with me as I relearn how to live my life without you. I miss you everyday and not a day goes by that I don't think about you and us. I wish we could have done all the things we talked about and spent the rest of our lives together. You will forever be in my heart. Love always and forever more, Azaria Greene.
I am praying for your strength and comfort in the days ahead. May the Lord's promises bring you peace and remind you that your loved one rests in His eternal care.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain." Revelation 21:4
I'll always appreciate how welcomed you made me feel and how uplifting you were. Thank you Collins. I thank God to have met you and to have worked along side you.
So saddened to hear. You were liked by everyone, Chris. Rest in peace my friend. You will never be forgotten.
At a job that wears many down, you lifted people up. You'll be more than a personality remembered, but your absence will be felt. I will rejoice when my hope is realized as yours has been and we see each other again. In Christ,
Collins, I loved talking basketball with you man. You were an awesome man and had such an infectious personality. I will miss you. It's not goodbye, it's see you later! Your brother in Christ , Jake
Fair winds and following seas shipmate.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
