Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me To be a happy one. I’d like

To leave an Afterglow of Smiles when day is done. I’d like to leave an echo… Whispering softly down the

Ways of happy times and Laughing times and bright And sunny days. I’d like

The tears of those who Grieve to dry before the Sun of happy memories

That I leave behind when Day is done.

My best friend and my love for 41 years.

Miss you very much.

compelled him to pour out to everyone he encountered moving in that indescribable gift of Christ spoken of in II

Corinthians 4:17, 18 – “For our light afflictions which is but for a moment works

for us far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we look not at the things which are seen but at the

things which are not seen for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Tracy Leon Gaston July 19, 2015

Tracy Leon Gaston…Words synonymous with ‘selflessness’ – you gave so greatly yet rarely asked for anything in return. Even in your passing, someone else’s life has been impacted by your

generosity and care. This song speaks directly to your life:

If I can help somebody, as I pass along, If I can cheer somebody with a word or song,

If I can show somebody, that they’re traveling wrong, Then my living will not be in vain.

Missed Today…Loved Always

Your Family and Friends

Gary Dale Glance March 31, 2015

Very caring soul who would walk a mile to give you his last dollar or the shirt off his back if he

thought you needed it!

David W. Goode, Sr.November 7, 2015

David Goode was an unforgettable man with a tough exterior and a heart of gold. He was a miner and a welder.

He loved fishing and shooting his guns. David was an expert grower of Brugmansia, or Angel Trumpet Flowers.

He loved his little dog, Trixie.

The days will always be brighter because he existed. The nights will always b darker because he’s gone.

And no matter what anybody says about grief, And about time healing all wounds, the truth is,

There are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken.

Until then my love…Everywhere I am, there you’ll be...

Amie Hewitt September 2, 2015

Forever 18

Lost without your beautiful smile, infectious laughter and heartfelt hugs. Always smiling, wide open and ready to tackle anything and everything. Amie lived life

fervently, always ready for the next adventure. Her passion for life was contagious, and influenced so many to do their best to achieve the’ impossible’

fearlessly. Amie never questioned the need to be a donor. Donating blood during blood drives.Listing herself as a donor on her license was something she was

incredibly proud of. She would be amazed to know that her choice impacted the lives of four recipients, their families and friends, her kidneys, pancreas, liver and heart. An incredible feeling to know that she lives on. I pray that her zest for life

has been passed on. Amie’s memory is precious and she continues to live life through others –

Forever in our hearts and Forever 18.

My beloved husband, best friend and soulmate, Robert Jenkins, was kind, loving, and caring. To know him was to love him and everyone did. He loved to paint, work in the yard and mess with his truck.

gone he will always be loved and missed.

remember I’m right here in your heart.

Charles Edward Reynolds May 11, 2015

Much loved husband, father, brother, son, and friend. An avid hunter and fisherman that loved anything to do with

the outdoors. Loved his daughters greatly and would brag at every opportunity on them. Worked hard and played hard. Was loved dearly by family and friends.

Taken too soon, but will never be forgotten.

My husband passed away unexpectedly after a short but content life. He was such an honorable & hard working man. I’m not sure I can really say just how much I miss him. Not only was he my soul mate & best friend: also a son, brother, father,

grandfather, uncle & brother in law, as well as a friend to many. Alonzo was my inspiration and my rock that stood by me through thick and thin. He supported and loved us all and was always there to give a helping to anyone

during their hardest times. He is in a better place now, Heaven with God.

I know he is looking down at us with a smile on his face.

Gone, but Never Forgotten Alonzo Rice III
