Aunt Michelle and Youngblood family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your son, brother, nephew and uncle. I will be thinking of you all often and praying for you and your family during this unimaginable time. I am not sure if this appropriate or if you want to hear this verse during this time, however:
‘And may you have the power to understand, as all of God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.’ – Ephesians 3:18-19.
Love,
Caroline

Dear Dianna – Mike & I are so sad for your loss and want you to know that our prayers are with you. Nona & Mike
I remember Ron from high school. He cracked me up everyday in English class our junior year. He was a great person & will be missed. Praying for peace and healing for all of you.
Ron was a dear friend to me at TC Roberson, . My parents too who attend Skyland First Baptist Church.I will certainly miss Ron and I will always remember him in my heart and my mind,I will be praying for his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Ron was always such a sweet guy in school who will be remembered for his infectious smile and great personality.
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Ronald. I felt a kinship when I read of Ronald’s death, even though I did not know your family personally. I too have a son, named Ronald, who will be 40 years old this May. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. Although, death affects us all, nothing can really prepare us for the loss of a child, parent or spouse. The Bible repeatedly speaks of the elimination of death, and God’s promise of everlasting life. – Isaiah 25:8; Titus 1:2. The Bible also speaks of the resurrection that Jesus Christ promised, where we will have the opportunity to be reunited with our loved one. – John 5:28, 29.
I pray that these scriptures and your memories of Ronald will comfort you, until the time when you and he are reunited in the resurrection. Feel free to contact me, if you have any questions.
Again my deepest sympathy,
So sorry to hear of your son’s death. Sending my thoughts prayers to you and your family.
Those we love stay forever in our hearts. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
We at Mount Gilead Baptist Church along with our Pastor Rev. Robert Ponder would like to express our sincere sympathy in the passing of your loved one. We are praying that God will comfort you and grant you peace in this your time of need.
