Add A Condolence

My Dearest Cousins,

Words can't began to express the sadness I feel not being able to be with you while at you lowest time.

Your father was more than just my cousin. He has been a big brother, 2nd father, spiritual adviser and a friend.

My heart is hurting for the ones he has left behind. I rejoice in knowing that he loved the Lord and the Lord loved him; he was truly a faithful servant.

I know the days to come will feel somewhat empty, just know you are not alone.

What gives me great peace is knowing that he loved and cared for me; even sometimes a little over protective of me.

I'm so grateful to have been apart of his life.

The song writer explains our weeping my endure for moment, but joy comes in the morning time. As dew drops refresh's the flowers know that our morning will soon come one day at a time. I love you!!!!

Sincerely, Cousin, Sister and Friend Angela Houston (Nita & Angie#2)
