Felix rose up, his chains fell off and his heart was free. The Lord then said to Felix, “Come forth and receive your well deserved crown. You have fought a good fight, you have finished your course.

Welcome Home My Son! Your Earthly Work is Done.

“I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course. My earthly tabernacle has been dissolved.

Some glad morning we shall see, Jesus in the air Coming after you and me, joy is ours to share What rejoicing there will be, when the saints shall rise Headed for that jubilee, yonder in the skies

Chorus: Oh what singing, oh what shouting

Seems that now I almost see, all the sainted dead

When with all the heavenly host, we begin to sing, Singing in the Holy Ghost, how the heavens will ring, Millions there will join the song, with them we shall be, Praising Christ through ages long, Heaven’s Jubilee.

Rising for that jubilee, that is just ahead In the twinkling of an eye, changed with them to be All the living saints to fly, to that jubilee.

On that happy morning when we all shall rise Oh what glory, Hallelujah When we meet our blessed Savior in the skies

Grand Daughter

Cousin

Friend Brother-In-Law

Some glad morning, when this life is over, I’ll fly away To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then, I‘ll fly away To a land where oy shall never end, I’ll fly way Chorus: I’ll fly away, oh Glory I’ll fly away When I die, hallelujah, by and by I’ll fly away

There was a time I travelled A lonely sinful road Beneath a heavy burden bending low But now all things are different For Jesus took my load It’s alright now I’m His I know A-down a lonely pathway Without a friend to guide I walked in sin a sorrow all alone ‘Til Jesus came and found me And drew me to his side It’s alright now for I’m His own

Chorus: It’s alright now for I am in my Saviors care.

It’s alright now my Savior hears and answers prayers He’ll walk beside me ‘til I climb the heavenly stair And everything is alright now

No more in sin I wander No more in darkness roam The Lord has placed my feet on higher ground Each day new heights I’m gaining My soul is nearing home It’s alright now I’m heaven bound.

There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know When we see the many loved ones we’ve known here below Gathered on that blessed hilltop wit hearts all aglow That will be a glad reunion day Chorus: A glad day, a wonderful day, A glad day, a glorious day.

There with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay That will be a glad reunion day When we live a million years in that wonderful place, Basking in the love of Jesus, beholding His Face.

It will seem but just a moment of praising His grace.

That will be a glad reunion day.

There’s a line that is drawn through the ages On that line stands an old rugged dross On that cross a battle is raging To gain a man's soul or it’s loss

Chorus: It is finished, the battle is over

On one side marks the forces of evil All the demons and all the devils of hell On the other the angels of glory And they meet on Golgotha’s hill

The earth shakes with the force of the conflict And the sun refuses to shine For there hangs God’s Son in the balance And then through the darkness He cries

Yet in my heart, the battle was raging Not all prisoners of war had come home These are battlefields of my own making I didn’t know that the war had been won

Then I heard the King of the ages Had fought all the battles for me And that victory was mine for the claiming And now praise his name. I am free

It is finished, there’ll be no more war It is finished, the end of the conflict It is finished, and Jesus is Lord.

When peace like a river, attendeth my way When sorrow like sea billows roll Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul

Chorus:

Though Satan should buffet though trials should come

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought My sin, not in part, but the whole Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

Let the blest assurance control That Christ has regarded my helpless estate

And hath shed his own blood for my soul

It is well (it is well) With my soul ( with my soul) It is well, It is well, with my soul

And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend Even so, it is well with my soul

There’s a city of light Where there cometh no night ‘Tis a city of beauty untold; All my treasures are there And it’s beauty I’ll share; When I get to that City of Gold

Chorus:

There’s no sorrow up there In that city so fair And no sickness can enter I’m told; Shadows all would have flown, I will meet friends I've know When we get to that City of Gold

Won’t you go there with me To the home of the free, Would you see heaven's beauty unfold; If you will, come along We will sing heaven’s song When I get to that City of Gold

No tears in heaven, no sorrows given, All will be glory in that land; There’ll be no sadness, all will be gladness, When we shall join that happy band

Chorus:

Glory is waiting, waiting up yonder, Where we shall spend an endless day There with our Savior, we’ll be forever, Where no more sorrow can dismay.

Some morning yonder, we’ll cease to ponder Over things this life has brought to view; All will be clearer, loved ones be dearer, In heaven where all will be made new.

When I leave all trouble and care, I will say good morning up there; I will have great gladness untold, When I get to that City of Gold

No tears, in heaven fair, No tears up there, Sorrow and pain would all have flown; No tears in heaven will be known

“But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an Evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought a good fight. I have kept the faith. Hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me on that day and not to me only but unto all them also that love His appearing.”

Darling As the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, my thoughts are always of you.

You were an incredible man; a man of excellence and greatness who loved the Lord and your family. You always made sure that we were well taken care of but God was always first in all things. I will miss the happy times that we shared together with our children and grandchildren. Your beautiful, warm smile and laughter will warm my heart forever. When it came to the work of the Lord, you labored with all of your might.

You let everyone know that the wages of sin is death but God’s free gift is everlasting life. Many souls were won for the Kingdom of God. You have fought a good fight; your work on earth is finished.

Jesus said, “ My son come home. I have a crown of life for you that will never fade away. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”

Felix, I love you with all of my heart. I will miss you and your beautiful, gray eyes. My darling husband sleep and take your rest. I love you so much but King Jesus loves you the best.

Agnes

To My Beloved Father, My Awesome daddy! My Hero!

The joy of my life! No man on earth can ever compare to you. You always called me ‘Your Precious Daughter’.

Nothing on earth that I wanted you ever denied giving to me. Your baby girl was always the light of your life. I will never forget all the times we shared together, just you and me, all alone, every day. The years that flew by will always be kept as my precious memories. The laughter, the tears, the discipline, and respect you showed made me the strong, confident woman that I am today. Daddy, I love you more than life itself. My heart is truly broken now that you are gone, but I know you are in heaven with your Savior and King. It was truly a joy and a sacrifice taking care of you.

It was not always easy but God knows I did my best. Daddy, you will always be the best man in my life. I will miss your smile, your beautiful gray eyes and your ever loving presence in my life. I will never forget you or the love you gave to me. I love you daddy.

You’ve earned your rest. I wish you were still here but God knows best.

Daddy you are the best father in the entire world, no man on earth can compare to you. Words can't express the many things you have done for me and the love you have shown me. You were always there for me through thick and thin, I will never forget the love and devotion you gave me and our family. You were not only a father to me but all the other young boys in Kemp Road where I grew up. Daddy I love you and I will always miss you, You are the greatest evangelist that God has ever chosen. My loving, dedicated, devoted father I will never forget you or the legacy you left behind for me to follow. Sleep well and I will see you in heaven some day.

As a child you promised none of life’s dangers would bring me any harm. Daddy, nothing was too good for your GABRIELLE. I wasn’t just your grand daughter; I was your little girl. We shared a bond that could not be broken. And now that you are gone my heart will forever be broken. My love for you still remains. As silent tears flow. I still call out your name. God saw that you were tired so he took you home to be with him. Sleep now daddy, you’ve earned your rest. I love you but Jesus loves you the best.

My Brother Today I celebrate your life, but I do so with mixed emotions. I know that you are in a better place, and the greatest thing is, with the Lord. As you are absent from this body, I know without a doubt that you are indeed present with Him. All these things bring peace, but undoubtedly so, a void has been left in our family. My entire life, I have known you to be a devout Christian, always allowing your light to shine, while preaching the Gospel to advance the Kingdom of God. All your church’s achievements you ensured that I was made aware and in attendance. Your last major accomplishment we celebrated together; you were consecrated as a Bishop. What a proud moment for me to see you being robed. I can recall that moment and the smile on your face that night. You were also an immaculate dresser, one would say “sharp as a thumbtack.” “Thank you” is the sentiment I have as I think back over our relationship. I never overlooked an opportunity to let you know for grateful I was to you. You were always there and when needed and made yourself available for my family. Thank you for being a brother to my husband as if he were your own. He was most certainly your “Bren.” Thank you for being a loving big brother to me, and caring uncle to my children. You truly represented the Miller name well. With living near each other, you became Krishna and Darrow’s driver from Temple Christian School many evenings and took joy in doing so. As my husband and I worked to build our business, you were a source of constant support, ensuring that my children were secured. There were days when I would be deeply engaged in a work task and would not want to break for school pickup. I would call you and you would say “ok sis.” I learnt after high school graduation, that you were Darrow’s first driving instructor. You would sit him in your lap and allow him to drive your car home through our corner. You and Krishna developed a special bond that was based on her satisfying your sweet tooth. Many weeks, calls were made, asking to speak to your “Sticks and Bones’ for her to bake you a cheesecake. You both shared a special bond that was tied to love of the kitchen. Both Krishna and Darrow have many stories they can recall and will cherish of their time spent with you and impact in their lives as they grew up. The most memorable memory was your response when you forgot to pick up Darrow, and how you laughed. They loved to see you laugh and will miss that that most. I will miss visiting you at home. During my last visit to see you in hospital, we assured each other that all was well, although you were not able to respond. I knew that the end was near. It hurt deeply as I said my “goodbye” for the final time and I left with a heavy heart. The following day, you transitioned. I can only imagine the reunion with your Miller Clan. We will always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace, you always gave us. You have fought a good fight, you have finished your race, you have remained faithful, and now your prize awaits you. I will always cherish the memories. Take your well-deserved rest my brother.
