Ms. Minefield Walls, we extend our deepest sympathy to you and the family. We pray, that God’s hands comfort you and the family, as you prepare to say Goodbye, to your Son,Brother, Nephew, Uncle. May God keep you, even more. For earth has no sorry that HEAVEN can not heal.
I’m so sorry to hear about Virgil. I will always hold a piece of his heart in mine. I once loved him very much. I’m so sorry Carolyn. May God be with you during this time.
My condolences, Rest in Peace Cousin.
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy commit in the morning. Look to the hills from which commit our help, our help commit from the Lord. Although Virgil has gone home to be with his Lord and Savior, he still will remain with us in our hearts. Growing up with him and his brothers was truly a blessing. There was never a dull moment. He will be missed, but will remain within our hearts. To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of God Almighty. Virgil has fought a good fight, has kept the faith, and now has gone on to receive his just reward. He is resting in the arms of God awaiting that great day. He is in no more pain, there is no more sorrow, and no more tears. Just rejoicing and singing of how I got over. One day we all will see each other once again and oh what a time, what a good time that will be. Living in a place where every day will be like Sunday and Sabbath will have no end. May God give the family peace, comfort, and the strength to endure during their time of bereavement. May God keep you.
Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear about your son’s transition. May the peace of Christ comfort you and your family.
My deepest sympathy to Ms. Walls and family. May he rest in peace and may the peace of the lord be with your family. Great man and many great memories..fly high my friend I miss you and will see you again.
