OBITUARY
October 24, 1932 - October 13, 1979
Mr. Sanford "Sonny" Travis was born October 24, 1932 to the union of the late Mr. Willie James Travis and Mrs. Bessie Travis in East Point, Georgia. He was the eighth of nine children. He was a graduate of South Fulton High School and Morris Brown College. His heart was in singing of God's praises in the Mallalieu Senior Choir and at one time he was a member of Paul Martin's Gospel Singers.
As actors in the stage of life, we all play our part and make our exit. On October 13, 1979 the end came.
He leaves memorable thoughts in the lives of his mother Mrs. Bessie Travis, brother Mr. Frank Travis, Sisters Mrs. Emora James, Mrs. Eloise Tigner, Mrs.Pearl Jackson and Mrs. Betty Maddox, a host of nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.
HOPE SEES A STAR
Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights.
We cry aloud - and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry.
From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead, there comes no word.
But in the night of death Hope sees a star, and listening Love can bear the rustling of a wing.
He who sleeps here, when dying, mistaking the approach of death for the return of health, whispered with bis latest breath, "/am better now.."
Let us believe in spite of doubts and fears , that these dear words are true ofall the countless dead.
-- Robert G _Ingersoll
