Message from Mrs. Edwards

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one, I hope that your family have been able to find comfort in the God of all comfort Jehovah. It does not matter how much time we may have had with the person, it's never easy to say goodbye. I too have felt the sting of death, however I was able to find hope in Gods word the bible and I'm sure you can too. 1Corinthians 15:55 "Death where is your victory? "Death where is your sting? 1Corinthians 15:26 And the last enemy, death, is to be broughty to nothing. Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mouring nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,' declares Jehovah,'thoughts of peace and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope... I invite your family to please go to jw.org where you can find out more about Gods purpose for mankind and how you can see your loved one again in a paradise right here on earth, just like the one Adam and Eve lost due to their disobedience and selfishness.

Message from Tina Lampkin

Deborah and Family,
I extend my heartfelt sympathy as you celebrate the life and legacy of Our Beloved Lurray Utsey.
The heart of Sis. Utsey that she had for everyone that she met through her earthly journey of life, was a blessing to all, especially her Faith Baptist Church Family. She was a beautiful and loving spiritual woman of God. Though she was soft spoken, her words were powerful, meaningful and encouraging. Sis. Utsey's radiant smile, was a reflection of God's light shining upon her soul.
A mothers love, a mothers touch, and her voice is irreplaceable. The loss of someone special, especially a mother, leaves a void in your life, that only God can heal.
Deborah, please find some peace in knowing that you were the best daughter that any mother could only dream of.
ISAIAH 41:10 " So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" Amen!
Prayerfully Submitted with Love,
Sis. Tina Lampkin and Family

With sincere Sympathy,

Message from KAY

Dear family
It saddens me to hear of your loss. Please know that God is hurting just as much as you are at this very moment. His plans to end death (1 Corinthians 15:26) and wipe away all your tears (Revelation 21:4) will be here soon, but until then please continue to look to the scriptures for strength and comfort.
