My heart goes out to all the family. You are in my prayers. Pee Wee was my dads (Joe Braswell), best friend and brother. They grew up together as kids and enjoyed a lot of good times during life. He was loved by our family and we cherish our memories of him. He was a decorated WWII veteran and hero, and a pillar of the Castalia community. We will miss him – but never forget him. May God bless and ease the pain of each and everyone of the family members. Sincerely, Mike Braswell
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Linwood Sylvester Harper. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of Gods kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
