I know Uncle cool papa is still watching over us. He's probably having a little talk with Jesus right now. I missed those family reunions. My most foundest memory was when we had a family reunion at Edisto Beach. I miss you so much. I miss those phone calls and I miss the emails. There will never be another one like you Uncle. Rest in Heaven with the father.

Family,

I grieve with you as you celebrate the life of your husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin. I will miss your presence when I visit the city of my formative years. I remember your constance presence in the home of your Aunt Zawzie. Will love you forever.

There's a place in heaven prepared for me, When the toils of this life is over, Where the saints are clothed in white, Before the throne singing praises forever, forever more

In my Father's house there are mansions bright, If He said, then I know, I know it's true, yeah, There's a place for me beyond, beyond the sky
Brothers and sisters there is one for you, Jesus, He promised me a home over there, Jesus promised me a home over there, No more sickness, sorrow, pain or care, He promised, me a home over there.

As I sing at this moment in my Jennifer Hudson's voice. Got much love for you.

Marion and Mattie Sanders would like to send heartfelt condolences to the Meyers' Family. In times like these, words never seem to express our exact feelings and soothe the exact pain, but if we look upward and trust in a Higher Being than ourselves then, we will have something more powerful than any words known to man. We will feel comfort and gain strength from the Master Comforter. Mr Meyers was a giant of a man and we are glad that he passed our way.

January 28, 2013

God is a special person every day but in these times he is your dear friend. Trust in God he will see you through. We go back a long way and I know that it is well. See you soon Love Fluffy & The girls.

To Mrs. Helen and Family
In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where am, there ye may be also. John 14: 2-3.
Though your heart must hold deep sadness for the loss of Mr. Meyers, may it also hold the blessings of the life you shared and the love that will always be a part of you. We are praying that God will comfort your heart, uplift your spirit, and carry you through this time of sadness to a place of peace. We will be keeping you close in caring thoughts and prayers.
