Uncle CA, you were the best uncle I could have asked for, you stood by me even when my own mom/dad/brothers/sisters did not.

Flora E. and Rueben W. Majors earned their wings on March 04, 2006 & December 19, 1989
God has reached down from his almighty kingdom and found a very special mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and yes a great great grandmother whom we called Memaw. She was one of Gods greatest gifts as she raised 8 children Earl, Donie, Ruby, Kenny, Joyce, Dennis, Karen, and Greg along side of our grandfather Poppy. These very special loved ones were needed in heaven to tend the gardens as their loving touches will make them shine with beauty as they have done with all their children and families. We all will truly miss them both each day but will remember them in our hearts. I read that poem, "If Tomorrow Starts Without Me" Memaw. We all sang "I'll Fly Away" just for you as you had a beautiful smile in September at last years reunion. We all love and miss you both but we will join that circle of family in heaven someday.

I love you Memaw, your granddaughter Cindy

And though she left so quickly that our hearts are grieved and sad, We know she lives with God and her small heart is glad. And though our precious darling was just a rosebud small, She'll bloom in all her beauty on the other side of the wall. Granny loves you, and will miss you but, I know I'll see you soon. Love, Granny Rosaly , and your loving Family. Rest in Peace Angel

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. This was from Palmer Bush Funeral Home in Lansing, MI. But so beautiful and true I had to share it you. Doug was surrounded by many loved ones ... His wife Pam, son Casey, daughter Autumn, three stepchildren Jonica, Jesica, & Kyle.

In Memoriam

Heavy hearts greet this September morn
Unknown faces streaked with tears
Struggling with a cowardly act
The purpose to instill terror and fear
Vibrant lives destroyed in a second
Families and friends torn apart
A civilized world mourns united
And holds this tragedy close to their heart.
Copyright Patti Delong
