Malachi C. "Mal" Higgins

Malachi,

You were such an inspiration to me during our Weight Watcher's meetings. I am sorry that others will not get to know you and your kind heart. I am comforted in knowing that you are in heaven. You will be missed - until we see each other again.

I appreciated knowing and working with Malachi during my years at Ruskin Elementary. He and I had some wonderful talks, and I thoroughly enjoyed his infectious smile.

Malachi....your life is an example to us all! Jesus' love shown through you at all times evidenced by your mild manner, that beautiful smile, your encouraging words and so much more not only while we were in Weight Watchers together but other times as well. We will miss you so much but I know one day we will be reunited again on the other side! I have no doubt that you are resting in the arms of Jesus today - and that smile is there for all to enjoy! Thank you for all you did to make this...

To my Favorite Weight Watchers Leader!
Malachi, you will always be forever in my heart, the LEADER you always wanted to be. You lead the others with your smile. You lead the others with your warmth. You lead us all with your kindness. I will miss you from the bottom of my heart. I am honored and proud to be one of your friends.

God Bless you and your family,
Forever your Weight Watchers friend,

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Weight Watchers friend.

To my family:

Mal made Harley's first year of school such a special one. She was so proud to know that her cousin was with her. On Saturday when I left the hospital I knew that I had to go home and break the news to her. I took her in her room and explained that it was time for Mal to go to heaven. She had the saddest look on her face, and I told her that it was alright to be sad. We were going to miss him. After she cried for a few minutes she looked up at me smiling and said...

Pastor Mal "cuz",
I don't know what to say. You were taken so suddenly yet, we knew you were ready to go. Thank you for the time you spent with my girls, teaching them in children's church and/or computer lab. Also, I had someone to share my birthday with after all those years I was alone. You know what that was like being a December baby. I just miss seeing your smile, that beautiful white hair, always fixed just so....hehe We'll always remember your gentleness, that's what drew all the...

Mal,
Somehow I know you are watching and reading this right now. Then you truly know how special you & Ray are to me. Words cannot explain the pain we are experiencing right now, but God is faithful and we feel the prayers. You were the greatest Children's Pastor we ever had, and you tie with Ray on being a wonderful nephew. I hold many beautiful memories deep in my heart. Saturday afternoons will never be the same in the Ragan house ever again. We will miss you, but we plan to continue...

Mal,
Miss you. I'll miss our emails most of all. You were always there for me anytime and you are one of my dearest friends. I know you're happy to see your Mom again and even happier to see Jesus!
Will see you again and until then,
Love you!
