  7. To the family and friends of Keon Chatman, you don’t know me, however, I wanted to take this opportunity to offer my deepest condolences to each of you.

    The death of a love one can bring all of us much pain and sorrow. May the words found at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 be of comfort to you, it says, “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.”

    May each of you allow Gods comforting words to sustain you.
