To the greatest man I've ever known and I was lucky enough to call him dad. Thank you for loving me when you didn't have to. Thank you for teaching me everthing I know, but most of all thank you for the Christian man you was. Thank you for providing for us, but most of all thank you for providing a Christian home. I miss you and love you, and one day will be with you all because you was the man you was. 
                               Your son
                                               Gary

Good Father,
It is no doubt that no person on this side of Heaven can see, experience, or even begin to fathom the wonders of the eternal life that you are living , as you dwell with our Beloved Savior right now. I am confident in what I understand is that pain, sorrow, suffering, and even the slightest shadow of fear, are all but a fairy tale to you now.  I am certain of this one thing, and that the only tears that you shed, were for but an instant, when you first saw your Lord, after you completed your journey between the worlds of mortality, and eternity.  What a great and joyful experience that must have been.  Of course your family misses you and still loves you, but I can see a part of you in each and every one of them.  Your legacy will live on, regardless of your earthly absence.

As far as legacies are concerned, I continue to attest to the many conversations that we had in private where you foresaw that God had His Divine hand upon my life, and you made me promise you that I would not let Satan hinder me in the Lords work.  I conclude the last of our conversation in this prose that I intend to keep my promise to you, and to Christ.  As it is written in Exodus 18, where in the days of Moses when his father-in-law, Jethro, came out to visit him, Moses received wise counsel on the matters of not being hindered in executing the destiny that the Lord had laid out for him. I too have considered the wise counsel that you have given me over the years.  I hope that I can conclude the testimony as it is in verse 24—where, “Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.”  The truth is that while I am indeed not Moses, however as we discussed previously, everyone has a destiny.   Thank you for your encouragement, your prayers, your intercession, and your wisdom.  I bid you Godspeed in your new life my brother, and I will see you on the other side.  Shalom.


To the family of Curtis:  Love and prayers to each of you.  I loved Virginia and Curtis both for so many years and now they are together with their wonderful   Lord and family members.  So much love and prayers to each of you.  Betty Hamlet   Lynchburg, VA
