IN MEMORIAM
GEORGIA JOHNSON THOMAS
God looked around His gar- den, and He found some empty places. He looked down upon the earth, and saw her beautiful face. He put His arms around her, and lifted her to rest.
God’s garden must be beau- tiful, He always takes the best. It breaks your heart to have her, but she didn’t go alone. For part of us went with her, the day God called her home.
Sadly missed by your fam- ily: Keith, Kim and Valerie Johnson; grandsons, Jivaro, Je- remy and Keissan; great- grands; sister, sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, Maxine Douglas, Pearl Coffee and Margaret McQuay.
IN MEMORIAM
RICHMOND
MYRICK, JR. September 30, 1948 — November 8, 2018
Gone is the face we loved so dear. Silent is the voice we loved to hear. Too far away for sight or speech, but not too far for thoughts to reach.
Sweet to remember him who once was here, and who, though absent, is just as dear.
It’s been a year since you left. I love you more today than ever. I will cherish the wonderful memories that you left behind ... Gone, but never forgotten.
Your loving wife, Stephenia Hemmingway Myrick.
