Ethel Lee,
I am praying for you and your family. May God comfort you and give you peace through this difficult time.

I would not have you be ignorant, brethen, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which also sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
I Thess. 4: 13,14

God Bless You and Keep You

To My Favorite Uncle,

Always know that I loved you dearly. The bond that we shared was magical! You would talk to me and give me the best advice from a man's point of view. We sang, laughed, cried, and ATE together. You will be truly missed, but I will cherish the wonderful times that we had. No more suffering and pain. You now have peace. So fly away and rest Uncle Jesse.

Your niece,
Valarie N. Rodgers
