Eugena, Darlene, and other cousins I've never met:

I am so sorry that you've lost your Dad so soon after your Mom--it's too cruel and must have come as a horrible shock.

I'll always remember Emory as my darling "Uncle Me-Me" 'cause I couldn't say Emory when I was really little. He used to start in singing "Wake Up Little Susie" every time he saw me, and taught Jack and me the ice cream chant (I scream, You scream, We all scream for ice cream). He was always rather quiet, but smiling that sweet smile of his, happy to sit back and listen to everybody else yak it up, but throwing in a really funny comment every now and then.

He will be missed.

Love from

Dear Stallard family,
My name is Rachel Queen and I am invovled with a voluntary work of offering condolences from the bible. I am writing because I am unable to see you in person.
I know that the loss of a family member can be very hard. But the bible encourages us that there is a hope. Acts 24:15 says 'and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.' And also in John 5:28,29 it reads '28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.' This gives me the strength to endure losses and I hope it does the same for you.
I engage in this activity because I am genuinly interested in my nieghbors. My work is not commerical. It is my hope that someday soon I will be able to talk to you personally. Please feel free to get in touch with me , with my enclosed email address.

Sincerly
Rachel Queen
