A life well lived, a journey complete,
A gentle soul whose presence was sweet.
Adolphus, your memory will never fade,
For the beautiful impression your life has made.

You walked through this world with strength and grace, Leaving treasured memories in every place.
Your laughter, your kindness, the love that you shared, Will live in the hearts of all who truly cared.

Though we cannot see you or hear your voice,
We hold close the memories and rejoice.
For death may separate us for a little while,
But love keeps you near in every smile.

Rest now, Adolphus, your earthly work is done,
Your race is finished, your victory won.
Until that glorious day when we meet again,
Your memory will live forever

Shirley Mae Myers had a way of lighting up a room,
With laughter that chased away every gloom.
Wherever she went, joy followed near,
And somehow, she made the good times appear.

She was the life of the party,
The one who could make everybody smile,
With a loving heart and a spirit so bright,
She made every moment worthwhile.

She danced through life in her own special way,
Turning ordinary moments into memories to stay.
Her laughter, her stories, her beautiful grace,
Will forever be treasured by those she embraced.

Though the music has quieted and the celebration is through,Her joyful spirit will live in all that we do.
For a woman like her could never truly depart
She left her laughter and love in every heart.

So raise a glass, share a story, let the memories play, & smile when you think of her wonderful way.

A Life of Faith and Service

A shepherd called to serve the Lord,
With faithful hands and heart,
He shared God’s love with those he met
And played a cherished part.

Through years of prayer and ministry,
His faith became his guide,
He lifted hearts, encouraged souls,
And stood with Christ beside.

Though now his earthly journey ends,
His legacy lives on—
In every life he touched with love,
His memory will live strong.

Rest now, dear servant, rest in peace,
Your work on earth is through.
May Heaven welcome you with joy,
And God’s eternal light shine through.

A gentle soul, a steady hand,
A faithful heart, just as God planned.
Through every trial, through joy and pain,
His love and legacy remain.

Though earthly footsteps now are still,
His spirit lives by Heaven’s will.
For those he loved, and those who knew,
His life spoke louder than words could do.

So let us grieve, but not alone,
For God has called His servant home.
Until we meet beyond the sky,
Love never ends… it does not die.

Please keep the Mulberry family lifted in prayer.

The barber’s chair now sits at rest,
Where steady hands once gave their best.
Each cut, each smile, each story shared,
Showed just how much you truly cared.

You shaped more than hair through all the years,
You lifted spirits, calmed our fears.
A trusted friend, a familiar face,
You welcomed all with warmth and grace.

Though the clippers now are still and quiet,
Your legacy speaks without a sound.
For every life you touched with kindness,
Your memory will forever be found.

Rest well, faithful barber.
Your work is finished, your crown is won.

May God’s peace surround the Douglas family today and in the days ahead, and may His love give you strength as you celebrate a life well lived.
