"When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrow like sea billows roll, whatever my lot thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul."

He was the son of Mrs. Eula Bush Brown Beard. In the year of I960, and the month and day of February 27, he was born in the town of New EUenton, South Carolina."But forgive us, Lord, for mourning, for wishing he was here; it©s hard to give up someone whom we have come to love so dear."

/ cannot change the way I am, I never really try, Cod made me different and unique, I never ask Him why. If I appear peculiar, There©s nothing I can do, You must accept me as I am, As I©ve accepted you. Cod made a casting of each life, Then threw the old away, Each child is different from the rest, Unlike as night from day. So often we will criticize, The things that others do, But, do you know, they do not think, The same as you and me. So God in all His wisdom, Who knows us all by name, He didn©t want us to be bored, That©s why we are not the same.

The family wishes to express our deepest gratitude for the many acts of kindness shown to us during the passing of our loved one. A sincere thanks for the prayers, visits, calls, food, flowers and everything said or done to comfort us during our most trying hours.
