Makayla Drumgoole Obituary

Early Friday morning, God called home one of his precious angels, Little Miss Makayla Faith Drumgoole. She was born July 17, 2008. We were blessed with her presence for two months, but her memory will forever be in our hearts and minds. We know that Gods wisdom is greater than ours, and our precious child is resting with our father in heaven. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Ramona Petterson and Stanley Barclay.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her parents, Cedric and Malika Drumgoole of Dinwiddie; two sisters, Destiny and Desire, and two brothers, Cedric and Christian; paternal grandparents, Melvin and Anita Drumgoole of Wilson; two great grandmothers, Lula Branch of Wilsons and Oslyn Taylor of Petersburg; a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

A service of remembrance will be held on Monday, Sept. 29, 2008, at 3 p.m. at the Bloomfield Baptist Church, Wilsons, with the Rev. Proctor Beard, officiating. Burial will follow at the church cemetery. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 7 to 8 p.m.

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Joseph M. Johnson & Son Funeral Home, 11107 Doyle Blvd. McKenney. 804-478-4411.

May God continue to keep you and your family hearts, minds, and spirits as you endure the separation of your precious angel whom he loaned to you for such a short time in our sight; but "God will" is perfect. He will never leave you nor forsake you, when your hearts are heavy and your eyes are full with tears from your child's separation continue to look unto the hills which cometh your help and he will strengthen your hearts. Continue to love, cherish, and hug the remaining angels he has left with you until he returns.
