IN LOVING MEMORY OF
DEACON EUGENE MAYS
“May The Work I’ve Done Speak For Me”
“THE TRAIN OF LIFE”
At birth you boarded the train with your parents; you believed they would always travel on your side. However, your parents stepped down off the train leaving you to journey alone. As time goes by other people boarded the train, they were significant, i.e., siblings, friends, children and even Sheila, the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a per- manent vacuum. This train ride was full of joy, ex- citement, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hello, goodbye and farewells.
Eugene, your success consists of having a good re- lationship with all the passengers, requiring you to give the best of yourself. You did not know that on December 1, 2011, you would arrive at the station and step down off the train. I thank God you lived in the best way, loving, forgiving and offered the best of whom you were.
Eugene, you left an empty seat and beautiful memories for those whom will continue to travel on this TRAIN OF LIFE.
I thank God for the journey.
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passen- gers on my train.
The Love of My Life, “Till we meet again.” Love, Sheila G. Mays.
