To the Parker Family
I was saddened to hear about the loss of Cousin John. I know your hearts are saddened and heavy but know that earth has no sorrows that heavy cannont heal. Just know that God is with you always and he will sustain you and he will give you the strength to carry on. Weeping endures for a moment but JOY will come in the morning. You will see him again when God calls all his children home. Be blessed and take care.
Love yall
