Obituary
Carl Edward Bush, 6248 Kind Rain Circle, Columbia, Maryland, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, July 23, 1992 in a local hospital!

Mr. Bush served in the United States Air Force and attained the rank of Captain. He was honorably discharged from the Air Force.
At an early age he joined the Moses Baptist Church and was baptized by his father, the late Reverend R. B. Bush. He also associated himself with the First Baptist Church of Guilford, Maryland.
Carl was employed by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company as a pharmaceutical sales representative.
He leaves to cherish his memory, two loving children, Sabrina and Brian Bush, both of Columbia, Maryland; a caring mother, Edna P. Bush, Augusta, Ga.; two brothers, Robert of Augusta and Ronald of New York City; two sisters-in-law, Virginia and Valerie; two nieces, Tujuana and Tyra Bush; four nephews, Ovanual, Peter, Devant and Lance Bush, three aunts, two uncles, other relatives, friends and a host of loving and devoted cousins.

What is Life? It is even a vapor that appearethfora little time, and then vanisheth away.
We will miss Carl's friendly smile, enthusiasm for sports, wit and sincere love for humankind.

The Master's Right
N ot ours to know the reason why unanswered in our prayer but ours to wait fo r G od s own time to love the cross we bear
N ot ours to know the reason why from loved ones we must part, but ours to line in faith in hope though bleeding to the heart
N ot ours to know the reason why this anguish strives in pain, but ours to know a crown o f thorns sweet graces fo r us gain
A cross, a bleeding heart, a crown, what greaer gifts are give? M y hear, murmur these are the keys to heaven.
