To My Family-

I want just let you all know that I know how you all are feeling at this time seeing that I have just experience a lost as well, but I know that GOD has our back in all our trobles and sorrow that we may be having at this time but all I can say is that "Just keep pushing forward putting him first in all that you do and time will heal the scars". Wilma and Leslie, let's just remember the good time that we had with Carl sitting in the sunroom watching us and talking cash trash as we climb the fence and how we always ate Pizza on the weekends Leslie, those where the good day and that is what we have to go on but I forgot about one more thing and that is the car Leslie how we use to drive the station wagon on night out :-). Leslie and Raymond I have been in you alls shoes by loosing my dad and trust me time does heal the broken heart( I just wish that I could just tell myself this about "Punkin")however God has the first and the last say so in all that goes on in our lives. My mom shared with me that she and Wilma were just in the store standing and talking about Carl and Punkin in the store and that is when they got the call but you know just think about it God did it all like that for a reason so that they would be there to hold each other up, as my brother would say "that's what faily is all about", right now we must go on and let our strength that God has given and will continue to give take us through and or faith must continue to stay in is path so that help can come and contiue in his name, my church has a saying and as I sit there in my seat on sundays and hear it I always say this is so true and that is "If you stay in God's face you will find you place" so stay there and he will give you all that you need I love you all and I am sorry that I can not be there but my heart is with you all in this time of sorrow.



We Love you Family-

Rhonda, Jay and Tae' Singleton

Let's stand TOGETHER for STRENGTH
