PASTOR LARRY HALL-OFFICIATING
To My Brother I love you Henry-Ive often told you that you are one of Gods Children. Now God has called you home-and
Youre now in Good hands. I love you and will never forget you, for you are special. You were the type of person that considered everyone, who would do all
that you could do for them. When I found out you were gone, I cried. Knowing that you would not want that
I thought on our many talks we had together. As I write, tears are yet still flowing.
I am going to miss you dearly, I will never forget you. You will always be in my heart.
Love your Sister

"IM Free
Dont grieve for me, for now Im free
Im following the path God has laid, uou see
I took His hand when I heard His call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to walk or play Tasks left undone must stay tha way I found the peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life has been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Dont lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now-He set me Free! -AUTHOR UNKNOWN-
Psalms 118:7 "I will not die, But "Live1 Memories...Special Friends...Brothers & Sisters
What else could be said-which could mean so much. The world as it exist today does not put many emphasis on
the "worth" of a Dad-But to us, life would have never been the same with out you.
You were our inspiration-and joy. You taught us to face challenges and Smile. You tipped your hat even in the face of defeat. (Your Passing)
Well hold on to all that you taught us-to keep your memory and legacy alive. If only we could once more hear you call us. Rev.-Boy and Bald Head Boy.
Those words have never meant more than they do now. Ultimately you gave your heart to God which gives us such joy knowing you are in His Hands. For the last time here and now
We declare our love to you now and forever. Love your Children

Our heart felt thanks for the many telephone calls, visits, words of comfort and other expressions of sympathy. It is in times like these that we gain our strength through faith in God and with the assistance of prayers by our
friends, neighbors and acquaintances. "Special Friends" Repass@ Victory Assembly Of God Professional Services Entrusted To C.A.Reid,Sr. Memorial Funeral Home
