IN MEMORIAM
ANTHONY GOLLON
It’s been a year since you’ve been gone.
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only I could have you back a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do.
You always meant so very much and always will, due to the fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain. But, you’re forever in my heart.
Until we meet again. Love, Chella Shela Tyrone.

talized and then relocated to Excel for rehabilitation. How- ever, he never recovered from the injury.
Ms. Gued said her grand- father was an avid church at- tendee and was a former longtime member of New Bethel Progressive Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Young- blood had later joined
Greater Gethsemane (for- merly City Life) Tabernacle until his health failed and he was no longer able to attend.
He stopped driving about 3 years ago, but he loved watching the news. And, he could tell you about every- thing going on in the world.”
He was also well known in the East Tampa area. Mr. Youngblood lived in his home on the corner of E. Frierson Avenue and N. 36th Street for more than 60 years.
Mr. Youngblood is sur- vived by three children, nu- merous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and other fam- ily members and friends. His services will be held on Satur- day.
Wilson’s Funeral Home is in charge of handling arrange- ments.
REMEMBERING OUR DADDY
EARL THURSTON, JR. Sunrise: January 21, 1929 Sunset: June 4, 2016
Earl, my love, I miss you so much. I will carry you in my heart and love you always. May you rest in peace.
Your wife, Mae.
It has been a difficult first year without you, but we are comforted by knowing that you are with the Lord. Each of your children reflects on our precious memories of you. Your wisdom and knowledge that God gave to you allowed you to teach all of us life-long
lessons that we will never forget.
The discipline when we didn’t “walk a chalk-line”,
we will remember.
Thank you daddy for all the memories that we will
always cherish and hold in our hearts. Some bring smiles and laughter to our face, and at times, others bring tears that fall from our eyes.
We miss you so much “Daddy” and we love you with all of our hearts. Rest in God’s care.

Mississippi Father Arrested For Shooting Spree That Leaves 8 People Dead
A 35-year-old father is ac- cused of killing at least eight people, including two chil- dren.
According to Buzzfeed, Willie Corey Godbolt was taken into custody Sunday (May 28) after a shooting spree in Bogue Chitto, Missis- sippi.
Following his arrest for the violence that began at around 11:00 p.m. Saturday, Godbolt told authorities that he was on a suicide mission and wasn’t “fit to live.”
The violence occurred after Godbolt got into a ver-

bal dispute with his estranged wife, over their children. The wife and the two children were at her mother and step-
father’s house, where they had been staying for a few weeks.
When police arrived God- bolt purportedly looked as if he would leave the residence but opened fire, killing a sheriff’s deputy.
The wife’s sister, mother, and daughter were also among those killed in the home.”
Godbolt then went to two other houses and opened fire on more victims. He faces one count of capital murder and seven counts of first de- gree murder.
D. C. Sniper’s Sentence Overturned
Lee Boyd Malvo, who was convicted for a shooting spree in Washington D.C. area more than a decade ago, has had his life sentences overturned by a federal judge.
According to the Los An- geles Times, District Court Judge Raymond Jackson tossed the double life-with- out-parole sentences Friday (May 26) because Malvo was only 17 at the original time of sentencing.
Malvo, now 32, has been serving his time at the Vir- ginia’s Red Onion State Prison. Though his case will return to the state court,

there’s still a possibility that he will be sentenced to life again.
At the time of sentencing jurors had only two options “death” or “life without pa-
role,” the Washington Post reports. While Malvo got life in prison, his accomplice, John Allen Muhammad received the death penalty and was executed in 2009.
Malvo, a native of Ja- maica came to the U.S. ille- gally and was apprehended by border patrol in 2001 and reconnected with Muham- mad not long after his re- lease in January 2002. The two began living in a home- less shelter, and Malvo en- rolled in high school before he and Muhammad would em- bark on a murderous killing spree.
