May God allow peace and comfort for you and your family Bryon. Your dad was one of a kind. He so much loved his sons! He expressed this to me each time we had conversation. He had such a gentle soul!

Family I can only imagine the glorious conversation that Cephas is having with the Lord🙏🏾your weeping may endureth for a night but, hold on, joy and peace will come! Prayerfully, Effie Smith Macklin and Family

I will be thinking of all the family in this difficult time. We met Cephas and Dorothy when our sons, George and Devin, became friends in middle school. It was clear that Cephas relished being a father and was very proud of his sons. I hope your memories will be a comfort. Lesin Dippold
