2 Obituary I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

5 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Mama I Love You. PhilJr., & Family You always said I was your miracle child, but you were my MIRACLE ANGEL. Love, Melvin, Sandra & Family May the works you done speak for you. Too God be the Glory! Peggy & Family Thank God for a mother like you. You taught me and molded us. Everyday was a spiritual enlightment. Your legacy live on with us. Dorothy & Family Thank you Jesus! Barry & Family AcknawCecCgement Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers, if so we saw them there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say, Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Perhaps you prepared some tasty food, or maybe furnished a car, Perhaps you rendered a service unseen near at hand or from afar, Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much whatever the part. May God forever bless each of you. The family would like to give special thanks to New Tabernacle Baptist Church Family.
