May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I have no words that can ease the pain you the family must feel. Seek Almighty God who can and will comfort you(Philippians 4:6,7). I’m very sorry for your loss. FWJ Jr.
To Deborah and Family-
The reality of this life we experience becomes all too apparent when we lose a loved one. Be comforted in knowing there are so many who are lifting you all up in prayer at this painful time. Know that The Holy Spirit is your greatest healer in this season and seek refuge there. I know that no words can come even remotely close to healing the pain that you feel. Remember that you are not alone in this grievous journey. You have the support and strength of your family and friends to get you through this. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. May God bless you and your family.
Hood Families,
Offering my sincere condolences for your loss. May your fondest memories help comfort you, and the wonderful hope of God’s loving promise to soon remove sickness and death forever (Revelation 21:4) add peace, encouragement, strength and joy during times of sorrow now and always.

I remember growing up on Queen St. playing basketball at the Alex. Boys’ Club Chester was the one person that I looked up to…I will miss him dearly. Rest my big brother! (GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!)
