To: The Family of Sir Knight Michael Payton

From the members of the 3rd Division of Ohio Knights Templar

    Dear SK Payton,

                The Commanderies of the 3rd Division wish to express their deepest condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your Father.  Our prayers are with all of you in this trying time.  The Sir Knights of the Third Division stand ready to assist you in any way we can.  We are all brothers in the eyes of GOD, "...created by one Almighty parent, are to aid support and protect each other."

" Wherever God shall guide our Brother, no want shall turn him back,
His shepard is beside him and nothing shall he lack,
God's wisdom waketh, God's sight is never dim,
He knows the way our Brother taketh,
and He will walk with him. "

    God Bless you all.

            Richard Holcombe EGS
            3rd Division Commander
            and
            ALL the Knights of the Third Division
