Angel was so good to our family and the boys still remember watching wrestling with him and his delicious food. We are sure he is in the Lord's care. We are so sorry for your loss and pray you will be blessed with the Lord's spirit of comfort and peace now and in all the days to come.

My heartfelt condolence on the passing of your kind husband. I will always remember him with his welcoming smile and hug whenever I saw him at church. He was a positive individual and loved to share the gospel and a good meal. I will always remember the dinner Derek and I shared with you both and trading cooking recipes from his culture. I pray the Lord comforts and supports you in all ways temporally and spiritually. May Peace be with you and love surround you. Sister Paula Edwards
