A great man gone too soon you will be truly missed and the memories we shared will forever be cherished your family will be in my prayers. I don't think I could have thanked you enough for helping with my situation you wasn't only my friend but my therapist now who is going to help me get over this pain of losing you.

Lamentations 3:32-33 For if He causes grief, Then He will have compassion According to His abundant lovingkindness. For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the sons of men.
Our deepest sympathy and may the PEACE of GOD that surpasses ALL understanding bring comfort to each of you now and forever. Treasure the memories of your Love Ones in your Hearts now and forevermore. Continual prayers for ALL for the days ahead to come.
