  1. Bj and family, we are so very sorry for your loss. May the pain in your heart lessen with time. Keeping you close in prayer.

  2. I was sorry to read about the loss of your dear loved one. The bible gives us hope of seeing them again in the promised resurrection to come according to scriptures such as [John 528-29] and [Acts 2415]. We find further hope in scriptures like [Isaiah 258] and [Revelations 213-5] which says in part that Jehovah God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, because God will swallow up death forever. I hope these scriptures will be of some comfort. My Sincere Condolences.

  3. B.J. Please know you, and your son are in my thought and prayers. May His peace sustain and comfort you during this time of loss. Leslie Lilley

  4. Bj, Nicholas and Christopher please accept my deepest condolences. Cecil was an original and will be sorely missed. Find peace in knowing that you will see him again one day and that he’s no longer suffering. He loved all of you and he knew that you all loved him. He will always be with you in your heart and your memories. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Well done thy good and faithful servant.

  5. BJ, Nicholas and Christopher…. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and father. The only solace you can carry in your heart is that he is no longer suffering, and surrounds you at all times. Please reach out if I can be of any help. Earlene May
