Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When I Must Leave You When I must leave you For a little while Please do not grieve And shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you Through the years.

But start out bravely With a gallant smile.

And for my sake And in my name Live on and do All things the same.

Feed not your loneliness On empty days.

But fill each walking hours In useful ways.

Reach our your hand In comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you And hold you near And never, never Be afraid to die For I am waiting for you In the sky.

From: Aunt Elaine John 14:1-3 - Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Perhaps you dropped by to say hello, or called us on the phone. Maybe you visited for a while to keep us from being alone. You may have sent flowers or a card to show you cared; possibly you didn’t come at all, but you remembered us in prayer. Whatever kindness extended to Leon Fisher’s passing is accepted with a sincere gratitude, and thanks that’s everlasting. In due course, we hope to personally express our gratitude to each of your who came, who prayed, and who comforted us. This we desire to do when our hearts are again lifted.

Special Thanks To Barry “The Shepard” Franklin - You have truly been a God send. Thank you for hearing God and mother Franklin. May God continue to withhold no good thing from you. We are forever indebted to you.
