God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb. He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, "Peace be thine". The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed, the ever patient worn-out frame has found sweet rest at last. The Calumet Black Alumni / Gary Small Farms Reunion Committe, expresses
their deepest sympathy to the family of a parent of our fallen classmates Roland and Zebedee Doss. A resolution will follow. Please this family dear LORD.

To my sister-in-law Geraldine, my brother Hal, Ms. Marlene, and Cynthia,

The God in you wll keep and warm your hearts in this different time. We have a job to do here, and that is, (except what God allowed), he is the captain of the ship, maker of all. He lent us your mother to share with many. How would you know the things she taught you if she was not the gift for the present. Let's celebrate those times. I will always remember meeting your mom and she had that good food cooked and wanted to feed me, and there was such a welcome smile. I won't forget. I'm sure you all have plenty memories you won't forget. Just keep them going and she will forever live.
