      I hope when you die it will be in your house, it is people like you that have this place the way it is. I hope your house clean as his was. So you better start checking your crevises for you might be next. Just for you as we say in this world If you live in a glass house, do not throw stones. M Y O D B.

    To Mrs. Grant and family

    Heavenly Father, the death of your dear beloved husband, father, friend has filled my eyes with tears and my heart with sorrow. I am distressed by the mysteries of your providence. As your child I want so much to say, Not my will, but Thine be done, but at times I find it difficult to do. forgive me and help me, I pray You, by Your Holy Spirit, to accept Your way as always best. Apply to my wounded heart the healing touch of your precious promises, and let me soon experience it's power. teach me not to mourn as those who have no hope. Wipe away the tears from my eyes that I may be able to see through the mist beyond death and grave, to the resurrection and life assured by the glorious victory of my Saviour Jesus Christ over death and grave. may the passing of your husband, father, friend remind me that I, too, am but a pilgrim and stranger on earth.
    Rest In Peace Mr. Grant.
    Mrs. Grantremember that God is not going to give you no more than you can stand. Trust God to see you through this all. Trust him and ask him for guidance and he will guide you through it all. Celebrate the life of your husband.
