My deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Brasfield. love to you all.
Deepest sympathy for your loss.
Saddens me to hear of the passing of our brother in Christ. Joe was a close friend and his fellowship will be greatly missed. We know that he loved the Lord very much and was a saved man. Joe and I had many hours of fellowship in his store and conversed on many subjects, but his favorite and most loved subject was when we talked about Christ our Lord and Heaven. Our prayers go out to his family and many friends. Joe helped many people during his life, and God has a special blessing for those with that kind of love for his fellow man. In Christ love.

Bonita, James and family. Bonita was so young you probably do not remember me. Debbie and I were friends growing up at Hulbert. She was a great ole gal too! Your mom and dad was always so nice to me. Your dad and my daddy (Ches Williams) coached the little league baseball team (The Jay C's) when we were growing up. I can remember getting to be "Bat Girl" HaHa and also them taking us to the Dairy Queen for ice cream when we won! Boy was that a long time. Mr. Brasfield was always so nice to me no matter where he saw me. I was so glad to see him getting Baptized and accepting the Lord as His personal Savior. Now I know I will get to see him, Mrs. Brasfield and Debbie again.
Praying God's peace and comfort over you all!

Mom & I are so sorry for your loss. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
To James and the rest of Mr.Brasfield's family,
I want you all to know I was heart broken to hear about Mr.Brasfield. He was one of the sweetest kindest men I knew. He was a little stubborn when it came to himself and did not take advice real well but quick to give it. I will definitely miss him but will forever remember all the conversations that we had. He loved everyone and especially his family. I know he was happy to see Mrs.Darla and they are dancing the night away. I pray that God will be with all of you in the coming days.
