From Tia Carmen and Eddie,
My sincere sympathy to the entire family. He was a wonderful man that will definitely be missed by all.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy. 1 Corinthians
15:26 Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
