It's been 2 months and it feels as if it has been 2 years. I just hope that everyone prays for their family and keep all love ones as close as possible. Remember "lets not stray from where we come unless ye have a hold on everything that come amongst us without love to hold you back." Keep all family close and thy enemy (devil or in flesh) will have to come from in the shadows of hiding. Love you eternally.

Vincent was a good friend of the family and like a big brother to me. I know that you will find the strength to go forward. Vincent all ways had a joke or something to say to make you laugh and I will miss that. I will keep the family on my prayers.

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.

Anyta and Tom Macon & Family:

I pray for your strength in God to get you through these times. It is difficult when a love one passes from this life to be with the Lord; but we must find comfort knowing they are with the Lord eternally and we will cherish their earthly memories knowing one day we will be together again.

Love,
