Dear Jack...It seems it was just yesterday that we were at Jasper High talking about those chatty bus rides, baskeetball, the prom. And now you are gone? How can that be? How we will miss your gentle spirit, your crooked smile and your generous sprit. You proved a dependable and trustworthy friend, a helpful neighbor and a stalwart pillar for your family. But our Father felt you had toiled long enough among us and called you to peace and rest. Happy Heavenly Homegoing. Our God Loves You Best. Sincere condolences to the family. Fay Mitchell

Dear Family, As I share in our most unexpected grief I also share in celebrating the life of a very good and dear person! I am hoping we can all find comfort in knowing our dear loved one is in no more pain and feels no more sadness. We can now look forward to a grand reunion with him during the resurrection as foretold in the following scriptures... Rev. 21:4, Acts 24:15, Ps. 37:29. May our God Jehovah continue to bless each one of us with much Love, Peace, Comfort, and the Strength needed during this unbelievably difficult time! From: Lizzy B. Carter with genuine love as always.

"Remembering You" By Tina Spencer One day I looked up and you were gone. The way you left seems so wrong. Oh, how I wanted you to stay. But GOD didn't want you to suffer that way. Although knowing you're at peace comforts me. A part of my heart is now empty. Even though you're gone. My memories of you will live on. Rest in peace "Pig". Forever in our hearts, Sean, Tina, Trinity, Sean II & Sion

I thank God for all the times and memories we shared...and I do trust God's timing; but for my 💔 this is much too soon. We were Sisters' children, and shared a bond that only death supercedes. Farewell my Brother (... alias 1st cousin)...Forever in My & De'Christian's ❤️❤️s.

"He is Only Away" He is only away-in your thoughts and your heart you are always together, never apart; In your sorrow, remember- he's only away...though he may not be with you the memories stay...and in time, when the hurt isn't too much to bear, whenever you look in your heart he'll be there. With Deepest Sympathy, Margaret Simmons

Although no words can take away the sorrow that we bear.It is a comfort to know others care, and may the FATHER of us all whose mercies never cease. Sustain us in our hour of need and grant us inner peace.

It seems there's very little anyone can say or do To ease the loss of one who meant so very much to you, But may you find some comfort in the sorrow that you bear, Just knowing there are many hearts that understand and care. With Deepest Sympathy, Lydia Gooding & Family

His Journey's Just Begun. Don't think of him as gone away...his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets--this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched...for nothing loved is ever lost--and he was loved so much. With Heartfelt Sympathy, Carl & Loretta Bryant
