There is No Death
By Helen Steiner Rice
There is no night without a dawning, No winter without a Spring,
And beyond death's dark horizon Our hearts once more will sing
For those who leave us for a while Have only GONE A WAY
Out of a restless, careworn w orld Into a "BRIGHTER DAY"
Where there will be no partings And time is not counted by years, Where there are no trials or troubles, N o w orries, no cares and no tears.

Summarium
MRS. AMELIA WHIDBY CURRY was born February 8, 1918 in Jones County, Georgia to the parentage of Mr. Andrew Whidby and Mrs. Leola Green Whidby.
She was joined in Holy Matrimony to Mr. James Curry early in life.
Mrs. Curry was a former member of Saint Paul A. M. E. Church in Wayside, Georgia and Gray Chapel A. M. E. in Macon, Georgia. She later united with her family at Saint Matthew Baptist Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, five sisters and one brother. The Lord called her to rest on Thursday evening, August 16, 2007.
Those she leaves to cherish a lifetime of fond memories are: one sister, Mrs. Annie W. Williams, Macon, Georgia; one sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Whidby, Detroit, Michigan; a devoted niece, Ms. Rozzie Hunt, Macon, Georgia; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
God saw that you were getting tired And a cure was not meant to be. So He put His arms around you, And whispered, "Come with me".
With tearful eyes, we watch you suffer, we saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
