To Ree, Natalie ,and the Carney family, I am so very sorry to hear of June's passing. He was truly one of the Kings of comedy,but now he has gone home to be with His King. God has truly blessed us all to be able to experience the Love ,Joy and Smile of such a great soul. If June was around there was no way you could have a down day. May the comforting gift of the Holy Spirit comfort and be with you all, and know that June heard the Father say ,"Well Done My Good And Faithful Servant". Charletta Leach - Kiel Houston, TX

Everything in my heart remains full of the great memories we all shared together, especially the talent shows, remember the boys hitting those notes and making the crowd go wild with the dance steps too. I love you guys and I always will.. God Bless You June, God Bless you family. Cookie

Words will not do you justice my friend. I must say we are all better for having known you during your time with us. People are placed among us to enlighten and inspire and now I know you were one of those few. I say this not because you always had a positive attitude and never seemed upset, but because of what you told me one day when I asked you why you were always happy and positive. God Bless you and your family..You will be greatly missed here..Good Bye my friend until we meet again..

To The Carney Family, and the son that lives next door to me, you have my deepest sympathy. I knew "Carney" when he worked at U of L Hospital, he was truly a character, Always joking and making me laugh. If I saw him in the hallway, I would say, "Carney, are you doing any work today?" He would say "no ma'am." He was a mess. I'm sure he will be just as funny and happy in heaven. RIP Carney. Ms Glenda

Things will not be the same here at UPS without James. He made work (and the world) a better place just with his presence and positive attitude. A lot of people I know could have learned a lot from the way he was. He was without a doubt one of the best people I have ever met and I will really miss him. God bless you, "King" James

To Natalie, My Sister and Friend,

I could not believe that "James Baines" is gone. I know that you two loved each other. I know that you will continue to love him in your heart and memory. I will miss him too. The best love you can show James' memory is to love the Saviour of all times, Jesus Christ, the Sone of the Living God. He will keep you when no one else can or will. I love you and may the Lord continue to share His blessings with you and on you.

June's name and the many happy memories of being in his company always bring a smile. He was indeed one of our favorite 'other Garnett family' members. We will miss him dearly and will keep all of the family in prayer. His many talents are going to be well-received in the Kingdom now. May God give you His peace until you see June face-to-face.

Kecia and Carney Family - WOW!!!! I'm still speechless...God have truly came and received another one of His Angels. I have known Carney since I was a little girl...he always had a smile,a tease, and a joke for you. Kecia and family, remember John 14:1-3 says, "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in My Father and believe in Me also. In My Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am". Know that Carney is just gone to that room that Jesus had already prepared for him. And also know that while we are down here grieving and being in shock...the Angels in Heaven is "CELEBRATING" and saying "WELCOME HOME, JAMES!" Carney will be truly missed.
I will continue to pray for you, Kecia and family. Love you all!
