PALLBEARERS Henry Lamar, II Harold Lamar Keith Lamar, Sr. Timothy Card William Lamar, III Michael Card NOTE OF THANKS Your presence here this day, the card you mailed along the way, the service you stopped to render, the gift you brought with thoughts so tender. The prayers you said played a major part in easing the pain that was in our hearts. Each helped us find the strength to bear the loss of one so dear. It was to us a great comfort indeed to see you in time of our sorrow and need. So from hearts which still need mending, We thank you sincerely again and again. The Family DEATH IS ONLY A PART OF LIFE We enter this world from "THE GREAT UNKNOWN" And GOD gives each SPIRIT a form of its own And endows this form with a heart and a soul To spur women on to his ultimate goal. .. For all women are born to RETURN as they CAME And birth and death are in essence the same And we are but born to die and arise For beyond this world in beauty there lies The purpose of death which is but to gain LIFE EVERLASTING in GOD'S GREAT DOMAIN... And no one need make this journey alone For GOD has promised to take care of HIS own. ~unmtl ~mtittS fnr ~ !Jitt ~mnt~r ~11\!k ~nutr TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2001 2:00P.M. SAINT PAUL A.M.E. CHURCH REV.
