TO THE fAMILY:



You have our deepest sympathy for the lost of your mother. We will keep you and your family in our prayers at your time of sorrrow. Although, she's not here with you never forget the memories and the times you shared together, for it will be your strength to continue on. For there will be a time when you shall see her again, a place where none is ever sad. So remember the moments when she smiled and laughed, because if she were here, she would still be doing it today. Know this, that God is not the author of death. God said in his word, those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will he bring with him, as we wait for his return. So comfort one another with these words. (1 Thess. 4:13-18) For the will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God can't keep you. You have our continuing love, Jamal and family.

To the Thomas Family from the George Family.



I cannot promise that I'll always

Know the right words to comfort you

When you need support

But I'll try



I cannot promise to always

Know what you're feeling

Or what will make you happy

But I'll always remember to ask



I cannot promise to always

Know how to cheer you

When you're down

But I'll be there with a smile



I cannot promise to always understand

Though I'll always give my best

I cannot promise you many things

Though I promise to be here for you today

Like there's no tomorrow



Our prayers are you.

Terri & Leonard Ampy

May god continue to bless and watch over you, in your time of need. The Ampy Family
