To Lyrick,

Words are hard to come by
When your heart has been broken in two
And you can't find the right words to say
But I know a simple "I'm Praying For You" will do
So lifting you up and praying for peace and rest
That God will continue to hold you as you go through this trial and test
So be encouraged and realize that He has a Master Plan
To keep you and sustain you and help you to stand
He won't leave you or let you go especially when you need Him now
And He's there for you with outstretched arms to help you get over this somehow

Lifting you up. May God comfort you during this time of bereavement. Your co-worker at City of Baker.

Laney and Family,

Prayer of Faith;
We trust that beyond absence there is a presence. That beyond the pain there can be healing. That beyond the brokenness there can be wholeness. That beyond the anger there may be peace. That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness. That beyond the silence there may be the word. That beyond the word there may be understanding. That through understanding there is love.

To the Bereaved Vessell Family:

My thoughts and prayers go out to you in the demise of Johnnie Mae. I always looked forward to seeing her each and every time I would come to Zachary for a visit. She always made sure she came over to Loca's and we would just laugh and have a good time. I will miss her dearly.

To God Be The Glory. Walk By Faith and Not By Sight. As Praises go up, Blessings do Come Down.

In Jesus' Name!
