To the family of my dear cousin, it will take time, you will never forget, but the pain will get easier and the memories will last forever. Just knowing he's resting in God's arm relieves some of the pain. Continue to trust God and He will see you through this too. With Love and Prayers.
Your cousins, Marjorie Ray Joyner &

My fondest memories of my brother stated as i was very young. I remember him being an mechanic before he started working at the shipyard (NNSY) because he built a go-cart for us, a jumping board and bean shooters. I will miss our prayer sessions and his visits on sunday after church. My heart is comforted because he was a devote christian and i know who holds his hand. My blessings to his wife and children who may have their heads lifted with pride in knowing they are part of a firm construction (my Brother) who has passed his legacy of pride and courage to them. To GOD be the glory. To Thelma -- the process of healing may be slow, but GOD"s love is everlasting in your heart for the years you both shared together.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My loving brother, who gave his life for his family, friends, and community. We talked nearly everyday on the phone. As an avid student of bible, when I had a question, he was my source. He and I predicted, and agreed on political and current afairs. I am so glad he was able to call me and exclaim on the victory of our first black president. That ment a lot to him. -- He was my heart.
