Memories
By Doris Washington
I'll think of you
As the winter snow falls at night,
And all is calm.
I'll think of you
As the flowers blossom,
Preparing for the spring.
I'll think of you
As autumn makes its way,
After long beautiful summer days.
I'll think of you
As seasons pass each year,
Reminding me of wonderful times
We've shared.
And now that you're with Him,
There'll always be the memories to cherish.
I'll think of you.

Dear Mrs. Karin, Charlie and Tara, It is with great sadness that I am expressing my sincere condolences. Mr. Blue always made me laugh. He was more than just my next door neighbor, he (and all of you) was family.
I remember when my dad could no longer walk, it was Mr. Blue that carried him. I remember when I was dating my (now) husband, Mr. Blue would always make sure that he was being a perfect gentleman. :) He was always kind and firm! I will miss him greatly. I pray for your peace and I hope God will flood your lives with perfect memories that outweigh the pain. And, Mrs. Karin, I truly wish you perfect peace.
I love you.

Karen,Tonja and Family, I was saddened to learn of " Blue's" Passing. I will always remember him as a outstanding athlete and classmate from grade school to jr. high and high school. Always a smile and personality because that's the way He carried himself. How can one express in a few lines a life time spent with loved one's ? The book of St. James 4:14 What is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. One day we all come to this path as Blue has surely goodness and mercy shall follow each of you all the days of your life: And you to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. May the love of God shine upon each of you . Deacon Gayland James Smith,Pittsburgh,Pa.
