TO: Our Sister Emelda and Family
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
We would like to extend our condolences to THE FAMILY OF MR. ALBERT WILLIAM “POPPA” AMBROSE. We want you to know that we will keep you in our prayers. Remember all of the good times you shared together with your brother and family member. He loved each of you with his unconditional love.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
DEATH IS NOTHING BUT A MOMENT'S REST
Death is nothing but a moment's rest until the Second Coming of the Lord
When He shall gather to Him of the best to take them to the place of their reward.
I've felt the power of Jesus in my soul
shining like a golden sun within,
melting my hard heart to make me whole,
burning out the remnants of my sin.
I've felt Him work within me,
So I know the glory that will come when I awake.
I'll sleep just like a child who'll homeward go,
And in my dreams of love great pleasure take.
So do not mourn my death, and do not grieve.
The Lord has come for me: and I am at rest.

Albert was a beautiful, kind, and respectful man. When I think of times we laughed (and they were many), I know I am blessed to have had him in my life. I am proud he was my friend.

To: Elmeda and Mary Pat,
We were saddned to hear the passing of Poppa. Words cannot express they we feel. Poppa was a one a kind. He always was the same no matter what, he always kept a smile on his face, never had a harsh word.
Poppa will truly be missed.When you are feeling low your thoughts take you back in time remember all fond memories of Poppa.
The Netterville's and Rogers would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy. We are just a phone call away, don' hesitate to lean on us when yall are in distress.
