My dearest Mother Caroline words cant express how deeply sorry and heartbroken I am for the loss of a dear kind, loving, and spiritual man that I was admired to call my papa. In the past 17years years I've known him he has been an inspiration to my heart and life. Between coming into my store withthe deacons are at church he brought nothing but joy around everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. My staff would admire the care and gentleness he would always embrace on you when you both came into my store they would say to me wow!.What an amazing power couple you both are, and how they enjoyed to see how much love they saw in his eyes everytime he glanced into your across your favorite table that we would always have reserved for you both. Even though it's time for him to begin a new chapter with god upstairs in heaven. Just know that even though he is no longer here with us on earth .He is in a better place filled with energy, and laughter, in heaven with god and probably got our beloved Mother Bertha Cofield in the kitchen baking her delicious coconut cake and pumpkin pie.I thank him for the words of encouragements he has given to Martin and I.That we should always allow god to be the leader in our marriage. I thank him for always having a smile on his face and putting one on mines. whenever he saw what would look like a frown on my face he would give me a big hug and kiss, and make Me laugh so hard I thought I would faint..He was and always will be a blessing to our lives. And I thank you both for allowing Martin and i to be a part of your life and seeing and learning what unconditional love is in a marriage. I will miss him dearly but am very thankful for the beautiful memories he has bestowed in our lives.I pray that our almighty God give you and your family the strength and comfort and peace to know he is in heaven where there's no more pain and heartaches.But ever lasting life.The entire Pelnaver family will always remain in our prayers and our hearts through this difficult time.

Love always,
Martin & Michelle Cofield.

To the Family of
“Philip Edward Penalver”
Y ou can shed tears that he has gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray he'll come back
Or you can open them and see all he's left behind
Your ‘here and now’ can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the joy and love you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live in the past
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of
all your yesterdays
You can remember only that he has gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind
Or you can do what he would want you to -
Smile and open your eyes, love and go on
"To live in the hearts of those left behind is not to die"

Our thoughts and prayers are with you
and your family during this time of sorrow.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Deacon Sebastian & Deaconess Julia Belnavis & Family
