After the coldest winter,
the warmth of springtime beckons,
and after the darkest night,
the light of dawn appears once more.
After the grayest storm,
a rainbow paints the sky with color,
and after the strongest waves,
fragile seashells line the shore.
After the deepest loss,
God gives the healing gift of memories
to comfort and bring peace of mind
when those we love are gone...

Freddie, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult and very sorrowful time.

Condolences from a friend of Ernie, your a very close childhood friend. May he rest in peace.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Despite what may have been going on, she never had a cross word to say about anyone and she always had a beautiful smile on her gorgeous face. It was my extreme pleasure to know and work with her and my heart aches with her passing. Heaven gained an angel and I pray God keeps her family wrapped in His peace and strength during their time of loss and mourning. Sleep well beautiful Angel.

Coach, before you were my ”Coach”, you were a big part of my life and my Mother's (Nora @ JTPA).

Knowing what a wonderful father your are, I can't imagine what you are going through.
Know I love you and right now,LaRaye is in our Lord's arms looking over YOU.

I love you and your whole family.
I pray for you and your family's comfort.
Love you all!
Always on my mind forever.
