Family I'm so sorry for the loss of Chuck Roast. I first met him almost 45 years ago and fell in love with him. Chuck Roast and Hammer what a combination but they were best friends and inseparable. We even vacationed together never a dull moment with Chuck Roast around. Take your well deserved rest my friend I'll love you forever.
Hi family, wow God has called home another one of our loved ones this week, but God loved each one of them more. In the past 2 weeks it may seem almost unbearable but all we have to do is KEEP THE FAITH in who our God is and what He did d For us through Jesus Christ. He has not made any mistakes.
Lester Ray will be missed and his memories will be cherished. In this we say thank you Lord for the time you gave us with him, PLEASE help us to receive your love and share it with all. One day our earthly assignments will end and we each want to hear well done thy good and faithful servant.
I love you fam. IGIT
