I am deeply sorry for your families loss. I have personally found comfort in the scriptures such as the one at Revelation 21:4 where we learn that soon suffering, pain and death will be no more. Again, I express my sympathies and hope you find comfort in this message.

To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. I work at the highway dept. in Clinton. Although I did not know Kirk personally, my heart aches for you.
Bro Wesley Watts is my pastor and a great friend of mine. I also know a couple of the guys that worked with Kirk and they speak very highly of him. A dear friend of mine, Sonya Wallis-Washington, grew up with him.
May it comfort you knowing Kirk was loved by many and left a lasting impression on those he met. I have heard stories of him and his daughter singing from your church members. Memories made...hold them in your heart. May God be with you and comfort you in the days and years to come.
