    Dear Juanita and Silver Family:

    Mervin and I were very sadden to hear of the demise of your friend Fletcher. However, during the demise of our family members, we have always found PEACE and CLOSURE in Hebrews 11-16, “Wherefore GOD is not ashamed to be called their GOD, for HE hath prepared for them a city”

    We are certain that your FAITH will SUSTAIN you and the Entire Fletcher Family

    Wow… I was just thinking about him and looked him up online. Sad to hear of his passing. I appreciate him coming to my mom’s (his other ex-wife) funeral in 2015 I wish I got a chance to talk to him then. He was a good guy and a nice step-dad when I was little. I’ll never forget going to wrestling matches and play wrestling with him lol!

    My prayers and thoughts are with you Angie and Ester. God bless!
