    To my dear Cartwright family:

    David loved Margie and his Cartwright family and friends, and his friends in Brooklyn, New York. After over 40 years there, he decided to move back to Virginia with his wife Margie last August. Margie, we will continue to pray for you and be blessed.
    God bless my family and love you all.
    Gracie, cousin

    Condolences to Aunt Margie and Cartwright family. Life is so short in this world. But the gift God gives will be everlasting life in his Paradise kingdom to come. As we pray let your kingdom come and. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Math 6:9-11). Soon there will be no more death and sorrow as Revelation 21: 3-5 promises. David is in God’s memory and can have a hope of the future ressurection. When this will be fulfilled? And many other future blessings can be answered by studying God’s word the bible.
