Clover and Neicey,
Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. I am thinking of you during the passing of your father. I pray that your hearts and souls find peace and comfort during this most time.
I love you and will continue to uplift you in my prayers.
Love Angie Coppedge-Jackson
To our EWC Family: We share in your emotions which surely must span the gamut from mourning to morning! We bless G-d for the life and ministry of our father Joseph for without his influence, we may never have known that the pursuit of eternal reward does, in fact, "take all-of-that" (and a whole lot more). "Praise to the Great I Am - We will live in the light of the Risen Lamb!" Shalom Mishpachah
