Obituary For Oliver Cedric Jones

Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own: He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair or foul or rain or shine The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

Earth is just a stopping point somewhere along the way, A place to learn to laugh and love, to dream a day away. A place where we connect with those we'll love forevermore, A place made by the hand of God to show us that there is more. But our final destination, is really not that far away. Where each and every one of us will meet again someday. A place more beautiful than anyone could ever dream, A place where happiness abounds in flight on Angels wings. A place that's filled with laughter, And never ending love, Yessss... Our Final Destination .....Is Heaven Up Above !!! Rest in Peace Cedric. We Love You Sweet "C" ........JGHS Class of "79
