Don't
Don't spend too much time in mourning.
Tears are for the sad. I left to be with Jesus, And this should make you glad.
Don't waste your hours in grieving. No need to feel distress.
I'm tired of life's frustrations, And had to get some rest.
Don't vex yourself with questions, O r try to reason w hy.
Life here for me was ended; It came my time to die.
Don't lose the love I gave you; Feed it with your care. Grow it with devotion
And spread it everywhere.
on't fret because my leaving Came in such a way.
We'll have another meeting, In God's eternal day!

Cicero Lester Sutde, son of the late Mary Elizabeth Brown Sutde and William John Sutde, Jr. was born February 26, 1949 in Lafayette, Georgia where he was raised with five brothers and three sisters. He received his early religious training at Happy Homes Baptist Church participating in yearly Bible camps.
In 1966, Cicero graduated from Hill High School in Walker County. Upon graduation he matriculated at Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia where he met the love of his life, Juanita Pace, and later married her on June 1, 1974. From this union, they were blessed with two children, Cicely and Cedric. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather attentive to the needs of his family. He was dedicated and industrious with strong work ethics that he passed on to his children. In 2010 Cicero retired from the Tredegar Corporation in Newnan, Georgia.
Cicero was an avid reader, sports enthusiast, and game show buff. He especially loved to prepare delicious meals for his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was passionate about attending every activity in which his children participated and consistently invited others to attend. His love for sports led him to be an assistant coach for his son's baseball team and as a former Boy Scout, he encouraged his son to follow the same path. He was an excellent role model for neighborhood children and counseled them as if they were his own.
On June 23, 2015, the LORD summoned Cicero Lester Suttle to join his father, mother, and brother Alex in their home on high. As an obedient servant, he peacefully transitioned. Cicero leaves a loving, supportive, and devoted wife of 41 years, Juanita Pace Suttle; daughter, Cicely Z. Suttle; son, Cedric (Rashida) Suttle; four brothers, Patrick Suttle; William Suttle, III; Shannon Suttle; and Dexter Suttle; three sisters, Farnece Roberts; Meverly Harris, and Mary Lou Suttle Dallas;
four grandchildren, Peyton, Ceniya, Casidy, and Chandler; sister-in-law, Delores Smith and brother-in-law, Fredrick (Delta) Pace; nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of other relatives and dedi-
cated friends.
