Sending my condolences to the family
My dear cousins, to hear of Archie’s passing was hard. Only 10 months separated us in age, making him my closest cousin in age. I think of when we were little in the close-knit village of Ashville, strong family and much love. Praying for family and those who remain. May Archie rest in peace as we cherish the memories of him gracing us with his life. Blessings and comfort of the Holy Ghost to all.
Cedric and I send our sincere condolences. We had no idea that Archie passed away, otherwise, we would have come to his funeral. Archie was a great person, a true joy to be around. And his infectious laugh will not be forgotten. May God’s Holy Spirit cover the family with comfort, endurance, and peace of mind. 🙏🏾
I will truly miss my baby brother, Archie. It was so sudden, and it still don’t seem real. I had talk to you about 2 hrs prior on the phone. That conversation will forever be remembered especially when I told you I will call you back when I get back from the post office you replied ” don’t forget okay, I love you.” Archie rest in peace and I know you will see Mom, Dad, Barbara, Larry and Mike. Love you much
