To the Adamson family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I recently lost my mother and I know it can be almost overwhelming when you lose someone so close. However, just take one day at a time and you will be able to deal with it. Please remember this, our God wants you to be courageous and strong. He is with you. Joshua 1:9

Cynthia, Jennifer, Amy and family
Our sincere condolences on the loss of a great man. We learned from him, laughed with him and most of all, loved him from our almost 2 decades together on Taylor St. The neighborhood will never be the same, and neither will the piece of our hearts that he took with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you...

My condolences goes out to the family and friends. Such a terrible feeling to lose a loved one and is a very difficult thing to go through. I hope that you find some comfort from the words found at Psalms 94:19 "when anxieties overwhelmed me, you comforted and soothed me."
