To the Family (Joy) and friends of my god father, affectionately known to me as Shakey...

I am forever greatful to God for placing him in my life at such an early age. I remember all the nights over as a young child, sitting at the kitchen table drinking hot tea or coffee with him late nights. I recall all of the shopping retreats we went on and he never rushed me once, his reply was always "make sure that is what you want and will use." I remember our late, late night phone calls just...

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Joy and the rest of the Shakespeare Family,

I truly feel a part of this family. Rev. Shakespeare blessed my baby (Velvet) 1969 at Mt. Pleasant AME Church Fruit Cove where he served as pastor. As he baptized the baby he proclaimed her his God-Daughter. We have been special friends all this time. My family will miss him and cherish his memory always. "A life well lived" A Man of God.

It is my prayer that God will make this time of sadness easier to bear.

Rev. John W. &...

To the family of Rev. Shakespeare. It was a pleasure working with him in the ministry at Hist. Mt Zion AMEC. He will truly be missed. May God bless you indeed with the strength to make it through this time.

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.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
