In Memoriam
Judy Bage
3/21/46 - 3/9/98
God looked around his gar-
den and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon
his earth and saw your loving
face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest. His
garden must be beautiful, he
always takes the best.
He knew that you were suf-
fering. he knew you were in
pain. And knew that you would
never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was diffi-
cult, he closed your tired eyes;
He whispered to you "Peace
be Thine” and gave you wings
to fly.
When we saw you sleeping
so calm and free of pain, we
would not wish you back to
earth to suffer once again.
You’ve left us precious mem-
ories, your love will be our
guide; you live on through
your children/grandchildren,
you’re always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose
you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on
the day God called you home.
It’s been ten long years since
God called you home, and we
love you and miss you even
more. Love,
DeLynn, Debbie,
Brittany & Brandon

for guns," said Carvin.

dozen lawmen from Lee and
Williamson counties had con-
verged on the property.
"When 1 got there. 1 saw the
man's girlfriend standing on
the road by the gate and I asked
her if she could call him on her
cell phone," said Carvin.
“She said she would try, but
she didn’t think he would talk
to me," said the deputy.
When Wilson's girlfriend got
him on the phone, he agreed to
talk to the deputy.
"He told me that he was going
to go out in a blaze like Waco."
said Carvin. "But I finally got
him to calm down.”
