TRIBUTE

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but please know my love for my son,

leaves a memory no one can steal. Love you always, Mom

PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the path of righteousness Yea, though I walk through the shadow of death I will fear no evil: for Thou are with me; Thy rod and the staff they comfort me Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Tribute

Daddy,

I would like to thank you for being in my life. Thank you for giving me my sense of

humor and smile. God gave me a chance to tell you I love you and spend time with

you before you left this world and for that I‟m very thankful. God only gave me 6

years with my mom, but he gave me three decades with you and I‟m so happy that I

can see this blessing through my sorrow. I can‟t express the hurt I feel right now, but

knowing that you are going to a place with no more sorrow and pain gives me some

comfort. My life will not be the same without you and I will miss you dearly.

Love you forever,

Tameka … “Dude”

I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee God wanted me now; He set me free.

Tribute How Do We Say Goodbye To An Uncle Like You!

"How do we say goodbye to an uncle

That we love as much as you?

We still cannot believe you're gone We’re still hoping it isn't true

Wishing this heartache was just a dream

From which we’ll wake up and find

You still here, in life, with us Or if not...somehow time we could rewind

For we don't know how to do it

How to say goodbye to an uncle like you There's almost no one who's shared as much of our life

Who knows us as well as you

We often think upon the memories we shared

When we were very young

You teased us, played with us and laughed with us When our lives had just begun

Uncle Henry or Apple

We will miss you dearly,

Your smile, your laugh, your suits, your hats,

Just Everything about You

We Love You Uncle Henry Lee Rest in Peace,

All Your Nieces and Nephews

Tribute

We thought of you with love today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday,

and days before that too.

We think of you in silence.

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories,

and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

with which we'll never part.

God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our heart.

Love always,

Geraldine, Minnie, Betty, Ricky and Gary

Tribute

Daddy,

God looked around his garden and found an empty place,

He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.

God‟s garden must be beautiful, he always takes the BEST.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyes and whispered, „Peace be thine.‟

It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn‟t go alone,

for part of me went with you the day God called you home.

I can‟t begin to put in words, the hurt I feel in my heart, you were my protector, my

provider, my everything…you saw things in me others couldn‟t imagine; you were the

best father anyone could have. My heart is filled with pain and frustration. God took

you from me way too soon, but I know He knows best and He can take care of you

better than anyone on this earth ever could. For I know our departure from each other is

not for long…just save me a spot and welcome me home…until we meet again….

Love you daddy.

Your Baby Girl,
