"IN LOVING MEMORY"
With heavy hearts, we gather here, to pay tribute to an "Uncle" so dear.
You were more than just an Uncle to us. You will always be a guiding pillar in our life and someone we could trust.
In loving memory, we say goodbye, but in our hearts, you will never die and one day we will meet again on the other side.
A life well-lived, a soul now at rest, and your memory will forever be etched in our hearts.
We know you will visit us in our dreams when you can and try to guide us as Jesus plans.ππ₯°
Your Loving Nieces and Nephew. Tyra-Danielle Mallory, Hakeem-Emanuel Knowledge Nevaeh-Ave Williams

Sending my sincere sympathy and condolences to Tracie Matthew, Josa Thorpe and the entire family. Morris and Josa were such a blessing helping my husband and I on the facilities ministry at our local church. He was a very humble and caring man of God. Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you and give you peace as you say farewell to your loved one.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (English Standard Version).
