Psalm 23: 1-6, A Psalm of
David — The Lord is my
Shepherd; I shall not want. He
maketh me to lie down in
green pastures: He leadeth
me beside the still waters. He
restoreth my soul: He leadeth
me into the paths of right
eousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art
with me; thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me. Thou pre-
parest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with
oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of
my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.

We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore
We did our best to the end,
'til we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you Son dear.
Love you always
The family of the late Ey'Manuel LeRavius Lookadoo greatly appre
ciates your kind expression of sympathy in our great loss. Your
thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers, financial contribution, calls, food
and efforts we greatly appreciated. It is only the generosity of good
family and freinds like you that has brought us through this difficult
time. A special thanks to Southeast Georgia Health Systems Brunswick
Campus for the professional care that was provided for my son, First
African Baptist Church in St. Marys and Southeast Community Church
for allowing my family to use your fine facilities. Your generosity
truly demonstrates what we mean by community action and com
munity involvement at its best, and Mrs. Patricia and tbe Royal Fu
neral Home for tbeir assistance.

gain, but on meeting individual needs. Today, as
part of Synovus, The Coastal Bank of Georgia
is honoring 125 years with acts of service
throughout our community.
We appreciate your business. Meeting your
banking needs has always been our commitment,
and your trust will always be our inspiration.
