Maxwell Family - My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I had the pleasure of working with Jearl in Summerville a few years ago. He had a way of always bringing a smile to your face. Each time I came he would ask me what I was going to tear up this time. I was down there again in October this year and upon arrival Jearl came over smiling and after saying hello was wanting to know what I was there to tear up now. It was really good to see him and he will be greatly missed by all his ECMD family, not only those there in Summerville but the ones in NC who had the pleasure of working with him also. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May he comfort and strengthen you during this time and give you courage to continue on in this life until he calls you home also.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
