Rosa and family
My prayers are with you during this time. May god contine to wrap his arms around and protect you. Your father was a wonderful and compasionate person of which you are all prime examples. His work is finished here and his name was along with the words, " Well done thy good and faithful servent, it's time to come home".

I pray that the love of God will strengthen you as you transition without your father. I regret I will not be able to be there, because I will be rendering a funeral at the church God has placed me to pastor!

Had the privilege of getting to know Mr. Stokes while working @ C'ville VAMC. Always courteous, polite and informative. He was responsible for my taking a trip to N.Y. (he and I believe his daughter accompanied him) which was sponsored by C'ville YWCA many years ago. This gave me the opportunity to take my youngest daughter along. A trip she and I will never forget! May your loved one rest in peace; a good kind man. Blessings.

To my dearest friend Rosa and sisters. Your dad was a father figure to me and Marie. We had many good times at your house, thanks to both of your parents. I've taken the words of wisdom he shared years ago and have strived to apply them to my life journey. I wish you all peace and love during this time.
Always,
Donna
