Rest in peace

You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Dad. In these times , look to the author and finisher of your faith and you will be sustained. John T and Cornelia Gaddy Liles

In a world of oceans and shorelines, Uncle Rufus was king. He navigated and shared the lessons of being a part of the planet. He understood the language of the sky, the land, and sea and filled it with musical vibrations that made life sweet. Kindness, humor, and allowing kids to be kids were his gifts.

Angie, Rufus, Maurice, and family, I pray that the grief you feel will be short, that the memories remain forever, and peace surround you daily.

Love, Wanda & Willie

To Angie, Rufus and Maurice, our prayers and hearts go out to you on this very difficult day. Just know that our love goes with you and the beautiful and loving memories that we hold for Uncle Rufus and will forever remain apart of us. Love, Linda, Wanda, Mama, and Jackie. We love you dearly. God bless you all and the love and precious memories of Uncle Rufus.

Be encouraged in knowing that "since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, God will bring with Him through Jesus, those (Rufus Waldo Meyers Sr.) who have fallen asleep (in death)."
