The interment of cremains will be at a later date in the churchs Memorial Garden. A warm welcome is extended to all. If you are unfamiliar with the worship customs of our parish, we invite you to participate as fully as you can. If this parish community can be of any particular assistance to you, please let us know. The Liturgy for the Dead The liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy. It finds all of its meaning in the resurrection. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we too shall be raised. The liturgy, therefore, is characterized by joy, in the certainty that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord. This joy, however does not make human grief unchristian. The very love we have for each other in Christ brings deep sorrow when we are parted by death. Jesus himself wept at the grave of his friend. So, while we rejoice that one we love has entered into the nearer presence of our Lord, we sorrow in sympathy with those who mourn. The Book of Common Prayer This Church is open at all times to all people. (PaCC6earers Gerald Thomas Christopher Thomas Leon Garnett Brandon Thomas Charles Yow Randy Bogan JLcfyiowkcfgements The family wishes to express its deepest and sincere appreciation for the many visitors, prayers, cards and other acts of kindness shown towards us in this time of bereavement. Not one card will go unread, not one flower will go unrecognized, not one kind thought of sorrow spoken will go unheard, and not one tear will fall from a face and be forgotten. At a later date, the family will acknowledge all deeds individually. C.A.

St. Albans Episcopal Church 2321 Lumpkin Road Augusta, Georgia 30906 The Rev. Billy J. Alford Rector Obituary Harrison Cicero Powell, III November 22, 1965 - February 12, 2008 Harrison C. Powell, III was bom to Harrison C. Powell, II (who preceded him in death) and Ola Belle Harris Powell in Augusta, Georgia. He was the youngest child in a large family. Because it takes more than parents to rear children, he and his nephew, Gerald (Jerry) were often cared for by his great aunt, Iola Lee (Aunt Mutt). He and Jerry were inseparable. They became the bosses of all of Harrys nieces and nephews. Harry, as he was affectionately called by his siblings, Gerald (Big Brother), Georgette (Jijette), Joseph (Joe), Jamison (Jamie) and Fredericka (Freddie), Diane, and Dawn. He felt he had all parents and no siblings because of the large difference in his age and his siblings. Having his parents and older sisters and brothers helped him endure the 42 years of sickle cell crises he encountered. From a baby, Harrison entered the hospital at least three to five times every year. That means, he was hospitalized at least 130 times during his life. Sometimes his stay would include two to three weeks at a time. Each time, he would return home to his family. He was always victorious in his battles. He returned home this time too. He went home to be with our Heavenly Father. He attended school in Richmond County and graduated from Glenn Hills in 1984. His other education attainments included the following: an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice in 1987 from Augusta College; Certification as a Police Officer from Richmond County Policy Academy in 1989; Commercial Drivers Training School License in 2000; and the completion of a Business Finance Certificate from the University of Georgia Small Business Development Center in 2002. Harrison was a people person. He loved being out in the public. This was demonstrated in his choices for employment which included: Clear Channel Broadcasting Inc. as an Administrative Sales Representative; Delta Airlines as a Delta Direct Representative; Investigator for Richmond County Sheriffs Department; and Salesman for Acura of Augusta.
