To my Husband,

Larry, you were my world.

You meant everything to me.

The love I have for you will last throughout eternity. I will miss your warmth, your laughter and your smile. could see your face for just a little while.

I wish I

Thank you for

your love that helped me through each day. Thank you for all that will never fade away. I pray that you are at peace and resting in God. I love you my dear husband til I see you again.

Love, Carolyn

Our Dad, God looked around His Garden and found an empty place.

He then looked down and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. Although, we love you, He loved you the best.

-Marcus, Trenise, Trenall

Brother, How well do we remember all of the special times we had. As we were raised side by side sharing good times, sharing bad.

Sometimes we

disagree but always made up in the end. As we grew to be adults we became the best of friends. Then you heard the voice of Jesus gently calling from on high. He was holding out His loving arms but we couldn’t say, “good bye.” So we said, “see you later.”

-Gerald and Gregory
