Mrs. Weaver and family, we are very saddened by your loss. We at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church in Pinewood knew him and his smiling face as simply "Father Weaver". He seemed to have christened all of our children in the past 30 years. As well as officiated over the homegoings of our loved ones. He is truly one that has been and will continue to be missed. I am a grandaughter of the late Isham and Lillie Mitchell and niece of Joseph. I know you knew them! He always spent time with us at the repasts. He shall never be forgotten. We hope and have reason to believe, with all certainty that he is in a better place. What an example he was. Will keep you all in our prayers.
