IN LOVING MEMORY
God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful he always takes the best. He knew you were in pain, he knew that you would never get well on earth again, he saw the road was getting tough and the hills were hard to climb, So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered “PEACE BE THINE,”. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. A part of us went with you, THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.

We love you, but God Loved you best, we will miss you., Sleep on and take your rest.

Your Family, Olive, William S.Mays Jr, Edward J. Mays and Chanell Mays
