" I FINISHED EARLY"
I had a lot to do...
More than some of you
Yet you wonder why I rest
I FINISHED EARLY..
I started on time,
Even though the choice was mine
And I put in a full days work but,
I FINISHED EARLY..
I thought at first the road was long
But I asked the lord to keep me strong
And step - by - step I ran the race
I JUST FINISHED EARLY..
I am not a quitter, my family
I kept on fighting until the end
And the only thing I can say is
I FINISHED EARLY..
By the measure of man's mind
And not by God's own time,
Do some of you look at the years;
I FINISHED EARLY..
But with God it counts not at all
How long, how brief
How great, how small..
He looks for a ready heart
My family my friends
I JUST FINISHED EARLY!!!

Oh my friend I am so sorry that you are no longer with us....you will greatly be missed. I am so glad I had the pleasure of meeting you and getting to know the kind sweet person that you were.I'm going to miss those days in The Elks....lol you know we used to have a ball. To the McKelvey family my heart goes out to you all may God continue to carry you through this very difficult time. RIP EJ YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

My heart is truly broken, we met thru family and became instant friends forever. You were always kind and thoughtful. I thank God for putting you in my life. I will always be your me-my midget. I love you

May you find comfort in God's word promising to never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)during this difficult time in your life.

EJ im going to miss you coming by the house,My heart hurts knowing that i can't just pick up the phone to call you and you would come right over. You told me last week to go pick up my son's car and you would fix it up for him well I got the car home on Saturday and now your gone.I have no more interest in the car because your not here to fix it up ,i'll never find a mechanic or friend like you.Love Kisha Clark and Family.

Words cannot express how I am feeling writing this. Sometimes we expect the people that we care about and love to be with us forever. While I understand that God loved you and needed you more, it still hurts. I will never forget the selfless, kind, and genuine friend you were. You will forever be in my heart and your family and children will forever be in my prayers. Til we meet again, Babes! Love ya!

To the McKelvey and Garrett family: I would like to send my condolence to you all. I am truely sadden to hear of "EJ", because he is my cousin. We have shared so many fun times together when we were little."EJ" was always wise beyond his years, my sister Pam and brother Rodney, always was a little older than "EJ" and he would try to keep up with us. My fonest memory of "EJ" was when we enbarked on a journey to plan our very own Garrett Family Reunion, "EJ", was always ready to help and gave so much positive support, it can be very hard dealing with family somethimes lol... but "EJ" was a joy to have as a cousin. "EJ" know that god is a man that makes no mistake and I know that God was ready for you to come home. When you get to heaven please tell Uncle ED, Aunt Frances,Aunt Miriam,Grandma Sarah and most of all my beloved Daddy James Garrett Sr.... I said hello know that they will take care of you know "EJ" we love you but god loves you more. Weeping my endure for a night but oh lord joy cometh in the morning. I will always love you cuz!

To the McKelvey/Garrett family,we was deeply saden and hurt to here of the passing of EJ,he was a friend and like a son to us,(shorty)Hold on to Gods unchanging hands.Just know that weeping may endures for a night but JOY!! cometh in the morning.We are praying for you and the family.

MY HEART IS SO HEAVY & SO BROKEN YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND & A MAN THAT I LOVED DEARLY ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM US SO FAST I NEVER GOT TO TELL YOU THANK YOU, OR I LOVE YOU, OR ANY OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY NEEDED TO SAY TO YOU BUT, I KNOW YOU KNEW..... I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU & WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A STRONG WOMAN & NEVER LET A MAN SEE YOU HURT! MY EJ MY LOLIPOP MAN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH & I'LL NEVER EVER FORGET YOU I WILL CHECK UP ON MOMMA MORE OFTEN!!!

To a very well respected man You will be greatly missed but never forgotten EJ Sometimes things happen that we don't understand and question why But I know my God calls on us when he needs us most And he needs you to be with him Without no worries no tears no pain nothing but love and peace EJ May you Rest In Peace

To the McKelvey family, please find comfort in knowing that EJ was respectful, caring, compassionate, fun, honest man. I could go on & on, but to sum him up he was Real! I can't say that I've ever met someone as kind as him. I am so sad to hear of him leaving us, I am truly gonna miss him. Even though it's been a while since the days when we spent time together, when I did bumped into him it was always that special love & respect that we shared. He was truly like a big brother to me, even though he hated when I called him that. I will forever remember our talks & how he was there for me. I pray for peace, strength & comfort for you all, God Bless.
