Obituary for Edward Dubra Stokes
Psalm 91:1
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety, he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings.
Mr. Edward Dubra Stokes
A smile for all, a heart of gold,
one of the finest this world could hold
Never selfish, always kind;
these are the memories he leaves behind…

It seems so unreal that you are gone
When just the other day
You walked and talked and laughed with us
Then was suddenly taken away.
Your happy smile, your joyful laugh
How sweet the memory still
Your parting has left an aching void
Only God’s love can fill.
