"To My Dad"
Thank you Dad, for thisjourney called life. Thank you Dad, for being myfriend. Thank you Dad, for your strength. Thank you Dad, for believing in me, when sometimes I didn 7 believe in myself.
Dad, you always had a smile, even when you didn 7feel your best. Dad, you always told me to live and not exist, because tomorrow is not promised.
Thank you Dad, for teaching me so much over the years without saying a word. Thank you Dad, for all our great years together and memories. You told me to experience the world and all it has to offer. Thank you for making me who 1 am.
So Dad, take your place with God, family andfriends. I know that you are going to have a great time.
Dad, I love you and I will miss you. I will see you soon.
Your daughter, Jennifer

Ephesians 6 :1 0 -1 8
10 Finally', my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power o f his might.
11 Put on the whole Armour o f God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles o f the devil.
, * <i
12 For we wrestle not againstflesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers o f the darkness o f this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour o f God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loinsg ir t about with truth, and having on the breastplate o f righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation o f the gospel o fpeace;
16 Above all, taking the shield o ffaith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts o f the wicked.
17 And take the helmet o f salvation, and the sword o f the Spirit, which is the word o f God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Crowing t\)t par
Sunset and evening star, A n d one clear callfo r m e! A n d may there be no m oaning o f the bat;
, W hen I p u t out to sea
B u t such a tide as m oving seems asleep, Toofu ll fo r sound and foam ,
W hen th a t which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.
Tw ilight and evening bell, A n d after th a t the dark! A n d may there be no sadness o ffarew ell,
W hen I embark;
For though from out our bourne o f Tim e and Place The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my P ilo t fa ce to fa ce W hen I have crossed the bar.

A N ote of S incere G ratitude
Perhaps you presented a flower, sent a card, dropped in to pay a visit, gave us words of cheer, brought delicious food, allowed the use of your car, shared by giving money, called to let us know you care, said a sincere prayer, or just simply wished us well - whatever your part, we, the Tutt family, extend to our many friends our deepest appreciation for helping us to make the inevitable acceptable. We also acknowledge the wonderful support we received from Augusta Oncology Associates, Trinity Hospice, Dr. Leonard Little and Dr. Mallory Laurence during the past year.
