    To The Moton Family:
    Please know that you have my sincere and deepest sympathy of the passing of Mama Moton (that is what I called her). She was one of my favorite people. She always treated me with respect and kindness and that will never be forgotten. I know it is hard right now but look to the hills which cometh your health and strength and you will get through this.
    My son and her grandson Brandon sends his love and prayers as well and wishes that he could be there, but unfortunately he cannot. But know that he is thinking of his dad, Leon as well as the entire Moton Family.
    Take care and may god bless and keep each and everyone of you during this difficult time.
    Humbly submitted,
    Tracye Miller-Kennie
    Mother of Brandon Miller (son of Leon Moton)

    Isaiah 40:29-31
    He giveth power to the faint and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. May the words of life bring you comfort during this time of transition.

    Be encouraged, and know that we are praying for you.
