My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved, Demetrius. Please know that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ is aware of your pain and they care for you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) . I pray that you are able to find comfort in God’s promise of paradise where there will be no more pain and sorrow (Revelation 21:4,5) and the many wonderful memories of your loved one becoming a reality in the future resurrection in paradise. (Acts 24:15). Please accept my sincere condolences.
To the family of Demetrius , you aren’t aware of me . However,I can say I know you all because you raised Demetrius.
I was one of his football coaches at Hillhouse h.s. He was a wonderful,decent youngman.I mourn his death.When I was in a nursing home convalescing,he was a nurse there.”how you doing coach” He would say,being totally sincere and caring.He’d encourage me to hang in there,be strong. I had no idea of his situation or clearly I’d of made it my business to be there for “cop” that’s what we called him.He played the center,dated the head coaches daughter waqs at the top of his class,in terms of grades.
When they say gone too soon, it applies to Cop,he definitely is gone too soon.I say this knowing when we are called to leave this earth,there are no questions asked,no bags to pack,when our Lord calls us,we leave! Cop did well in the time,He was given,yes,he treated people the way they would want to be treated.
Get your Rest Cop,May your Lord keep you and May your good deeds out weigh your bad.
To Lounell and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family during this time of loss, I will be praying for you and family during this time and the days ahead that the Lord will keep and comfort you.
With Sympathy and Prayers
