A dozen roses from us to you
for all the love you bestowed
so gracious a heart we've ever known
so high a spirit gifted from God’s throne
so grand you stood in your petiteness
and your strength shined through
the love and wisdom you leave behind
will now become our glue
for the bond you built, the home you led
the friends you met, the family you shared
twelve doves will fly high above
to honor your special day
the day God laid hands upon you
and took all your pain away
for the strong woman with stern hands
to a devoted mother and our best friend
roses for Pearl until we meet again
from Debbie, Dewayne, and Darlene.
We love you mom.

(In Memory of Lamar "L-Boogie" Featherston)
A handsome, dreadlock-wearing Prince
was My Lamar
With Big, brown Eyes and skin like
tar
Who was destined in LIFE, to score
many a par
Until FATE, saw fit to lead him, some
place, far
Which to Me, still seems so bizarre
When I recall him riding with DeWayne,
in the car
And, them funning, like it's "happy-
hour", at a bar
How it hurts, that he can't be where
We are
Despite of his being in the heavens,
A Rising Star
For his departure has left upon Us.
an impending scar
Today is the day that I let your love in,
Today is the day that we really began.
Today is the day we started dating,
After a month of me keeping you waiting.
I wanted to be sure that you we're the one,
My days of meaningless dating all done.
I prayed God please let me know, "Is he for me"?
I was tired of being hurt by others you see.
And God whispered, "DeWayne" into my heart,
He told me he is the one you've been waiting for.
So that day July 17th, two-thousand and three,
Is the day things really began between him and me!
Then just one short year later, we we're married,
All my fears from past relationships at last buried.
We began a life together based on love and trust,
We knew without a doubt there was no one else for us.
I was the only girl for him and he was all I wanted for life,
My world was changed completely when I became his wife.
But we wouldn't be here now with our thee children,
If it wasn't for God being in the middle of, our beginning!
The birth of a child will make you smile
A beautiful baby boy, what a joy
Brings tears to my eyes
Because of the joy that is inside
His name, what should I claim
Dewayne is his name
Exquisite

The name of your father
Who I love so much
My pride and joy
I will always thank God
above for giving me so much love
The birth of a child will make you smile
A beautiful baby boy, what a joy
Brings tears to my eyes
Because of the joy that is inside

The name of your father
Who I love so much
My pride and joy
I will always thank God
above for giving me so much love
Our day has finally come
the day that we became one
I waited All my life to see your face
and the day we met was nothing
but God's Amazing Grace
I searched for you in every crowd
as I yelled your name out loud
I searched for you in the stars above
I knew only you could have my love
I searched for you
In the moon and the sun
I knew Dewayne you were the only one
Knowing when I saw your face
I had to be in the right place
When I laid my eyes on you
My life became brand new
