Leave a tributeMet him at the Freehold Assembly of God when Pastor Pierce was still alive.
Am shocked (I found) he passed in 2015.
Sherry, keep the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
See yous guys in heaven.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all…
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss…
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief –
Don’t shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
I will Miss you .. and our times that we went downstairs and you let sing my songs while you played the Piano .. I hope you have a Guitar in Heaven and can continue to play your Music. Kisses and Hugs from your Princess Ella Bleu. I'll always remember you in my heart
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
1Thess. 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
May the blessing of comfort be yours, dear family!
