Fuller Recessional INTERMENT Cedar Grove Cemetery 120 Watkins Street | Augusta, Georgia ^a/&earete Macedonia Baptist Church Deacons A. L. Frink Near a shady wall a rose once grew, budded and blossomed in Gods free light, watered and fed by the morning dew, shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall, through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with ADDED STRENGTH WITH NEVER A THOUGHT OF FEAR OR PRIDE, It FOLLOWED THE LIGHT THROUGH THE CREVICES LENGTH AND UNFOLDED ITSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE LIGHT, THE DEW, THE BROADENING VIEW WERE FOUND THE SAME AS THEY WERE BEFORE, AND IT LOST ITSELF IN BEAUTIES NEW, BREATHING ITS FRAGRANCE MORE AND MORE. SHALL CLAIM OF DEATH CAUSE US TO GRIEVE AND MAKE OUR COURAGE FAINT AND FALL? Nay! LET US FAITH AND HOPE RECEIVE' THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL, SCATTERING FRAGRANCE FAR AND WIDE JUST AS IT DID IN DAYS OF YORE, JUST AS IT DID ON THE OTHER SIDE, JUST AS IT WILL FOREVER'MORE. We, the family, express our deepest gratitude for all of your prayers, visits, kind words, and deeds during our time of bereavement. Our prayer is that God continues to bless and keep you in his loving care. Special acknowledgements to Reverend Dr. Gregory M. Fuller and the Macedonia Baptist Church Family.
