    Condolences to the Stewart Family. After graduation from college, we lived in a boarding house on Oak Street between Allen and Benedict with several brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. There we worked, attended graduate school, and played a lot of basketball. Boy did we have a lot of fun in the 60's. Rest in peace home boy, rest in peace.

    Goodbye Cousin David may God bless your soul. You have ascended to heaven with God, the Great I am that I am. We understand death only after it has placed its hands on someone we love. For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. Death cannot kill what never dies. Donna Mitchell Sutton New York.
