To all family members, Solomon will always be with us in our memories instilled by our contact with him. To know him was to love him.

Solomon - you will be truly missed. I am so blessed to have been able to meet you and get to know you. I think back to all the unknown family history you shared, and regret that I never got to visit you to get even deeper. This family has lost a true treasure.

Those We Love Must Someday Pass, Beyond Our Present Sight..Must Leave Us And The World We Know Without Their Radiant Light. But We Know That Like A Candle Their Lovely Light Will Shine To Brighten Up Another Place, More Perfect..More Divine. And In The Realm Of Heaven Where They Shine So Warm And Bright, Our Love ones Live Forevermore In God Eternal Light.My Prayers To The BUSH Family an Very Close Friend /Singer Kenneth B.

Sol is one of my favorite uncles, but he is more like a brother to me because we all grew up together. He has been an inspiration to me when I was down and always reminded me that God is with us and everything will be alright. We will all miss him, his singing and his lectures of do's and don'ts. But Sol is with Jesus now hitting those high notes along with the heavenly choir in Heaven and relaxing in his mansion that Jesus has prepared just for Him....Well done Solie..Well done!

God Shall wipe away all tears. Sol as my family love to call you. You were a kind and generous soul. You were quietly suffering but you found a way to provide comfort for my mother in her illness. I will never forget your kindness on her last birthday Aug 18,2011. You came over and gave her two dozen roses !!!!. We wanted you to show off your beautiful voice, and you were a little shy. However, when you opened your mouth and sang the gospel hymn, it bought a smile to my mother's face. RIP Sol you will never be forgotten.

What a wonderful person, that I was raised with. He was my father's sister's son, and we were always happy to be in each others company. I extend my deepest sympathy to our family. I know that it seems like we will never be happy again; but God will wipe the tears from our eyes. We will go on remembering the legacy of Sol. Some days, many months and years from now, tears will still come...be
assured that he is in God's company and is happy, healthy and not alone. Our tears are for ourselves...we never want to lose our love ones...that is the order of Jesus Christ. God bless and keep the Bush and Jacobs family, and help us to display the love that Sol left behind.
