"I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time."

"To my mother,It may be the end to hugh's life here on earth but he will remain in our hearts forever. He was known and loved by so many !! Many that may not even know of his passing yet. So many will experience this great sadness, but none as deep as what you will. Move forward and look for happiness in everything that you do and in everyone you meet. Someone who is so loving and giving will truly find comfort . The past years have been difficult and I hope that your heart will be lifted and you will live your life to the fullest. Afterall all you have to do is get up and get out there and experience your life, with all that life has to offer. Hugh lived his life to the fullest, no regrets and I only want you to be able to say the same. You are loved by your family and so many many more. Take a deep breathe and smell the roses. Live the best you can. We will always be here for you, just like you have been for us. LET THE PAST BE THE PAST. Only happiness to come.Love, Shirley"

"Apparently the Lord said it was time for your suffering to be over with. I will truly miss seeing the love you had for life and for Mama and for being the grandfather my children needed. I am so very thankful for the memories that I will have and cherish in the days to come. You can now run those dogs and hunt with no pain. I am rahter envious of the visions you are able to see right now but I don't believe it will be long until we all can share in your joy. I loved you and I will miss you.Love,Rita Samples"

"My husband has passed away. He dealt with a very long and hard illness. I took care of him to the best of my abilities. I would like to thank the wonderful doctors: Dr. Fred Boling, his cardiologist Dr. Kakar and Dr. Singh. I would also like to thank the compassionate Pastor Chris Grinstead of Greater Heights Baptist Church for his visits and kind words and the wonderful people at Embracing Hospice for everything they did. I would especially like to say a thank you to all the friends that have helped me and stood by me over the years, especially my good friends Laverne and Jerry. And to my family for being there from the beginning to the end thank you. He was loved and will be greatly missed. Love always,Carol Reece"
