Rayfield Walker

King George Was Always Home
Born where the rivers whisper
In King George clay and stone
September’s child of ’53
That place was always home
A son to Ida Ruth and Rayfield
Hands ready, heart held true
The only boy among his sisters
Strong in all he’d do
He jumped from skies at Fort Bragg
A paratrooper brave and proud
Serving country while still young
Standing steady, never loud
With tools and wires, cars and plans
He fixed what others could not see
Piddling here, repairing there
A life of skill and dignity
Construction dust, electrician’s wire
Grease-stained hands, a ready grin
If it was broken, Ray would try
And somehow make it whole again
Though no children bore his name
His heart knew love that still was true
For Mike and Michelle were children by love
And that love forever grew
Cancer came, but never stole
His laughter or his light
He faced each day with quiet strength
A fighter to the night
Now laid to rest with honored grace
At Quantico he’ll remain
A soldier, brother, uncle, friend
No part of him in vain
King George still holds his memory
Virginia skies still roam
And in every life he touched
Rayfield Walker is home

A Life Well Polished

At sunrise, God breathed life into you,
And you met the world with steady hands and an open heart.
Though your time with us was brief,
Your life was rich with purpose,
And your presence left a shine that will never fade.

You found beauty where others saw only wear,
Restoring shine and revealing worth,
Teaching us that even what has endured storms
Can glow again.

With patience, pride, and purpose,
You worked carefully, smoothing every line.
In detailing cars, you shared quiet lessons,
That care matters,
That diligence speaks,
That excellence is an act of love.

Born of the love of your mother, Wanda,
And the strength of your father, Rodney,
You carried their guidance within you,
Rooted in family, faith, and resilience,
A son shaped by love and legacy.

Ten precious lives call you Father,
Ten reflections of your spirit and strength.
In them, your laughter continues,
Your wisdom lives on,
And your legacy breathes with every step they take.
Nothing you poured into them was ever in vain.

At sunset, heaven called your name without warning,
And our hearts were unprepared.
Yet God’s plans are higher than our understanding,
And in His perfect timing, you were gently carried home.

Now your hands are at rest,
Your soul renewed in glory,
And your light shines forever
Polished by grace and held in eternal love.

Well done, good and faithful servant.
Your work is complete,
But your love remains.

In Loving Memory of Ivan David Calderon Romero

Too soon you left, dear Ivan,
yet your laughter still remains,
echoing through our memories
like sunlight after rain.

The baby of the family,
with a smile that led the way,
you filled our lives with joy and noise
in your own unforgettable way.

Hardworking hands, a loyal heart,
side by side with Dad and brother,
building more than walls and homes—
building bonds with one another.

You cheered loud for Sunday football,
counted stats, made every play,
golf clubs, games, and late-night laughs
that brightened even ordinary days.

You danced, you joked, you loved so big,
the life of every room,
a son, a brother, uncle, friend—
gone far too early, far too soon.

Though heaven gained your gentle soul,
our hearts still call your name,
for love like yours does not fade—
it forever stays the same.

Rest easy now, our Ivan dear,
wrapped in peace, forever free.
You’ll always be our baby brother,
loved for all eternity.

In Loving Memory of Rachael Many Rowles

She moved through life with kindness,
with a heart that made room for everyone.
Work was service, family was everything,
and love was given freely.

Her home was built on connection,
on knowing names, on caring deeply,
on showing up in quiet, steady ways
that mattered more than words.

Her beloved Jack went on ahead,
and not long after, she followed.
Two lives bound by devotion,
now resting together in peace
at Quantico National Cemetery.

She leaves her love in her son Jerry,
and in Beverley, a daughter by heart, not title.
It lives on in grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
in laughter she cherished most.

A gentle soul, a faithful love,
now reunited,
now at rest.

Tiny Footprints, Heaven’s Promise

Tiny footprints, soft and still,
Pressed in time, a sacred sign.
Though little feet stayed just a moment,
Their love now lives beyond all time.

They never walked the paths of earth,
Yet God had known each step before.
Every breath, every heartbeat
Was precious to Him, forevermore.

He welcomes children into His arms,
Where innocence is safely kept.
A perfect place in heaven waits
For babies who were only lent.

Those footprints tell a quiet truth
Of love too deep for words to say.
A life so small, yet fully known,
Forever changed us in one day.

While we hold prints of tiny feet,
God holds the child we long to see.
And in His care, we trust again
That love completes eternity.

Regina Fox, so dearly loved,
A gentle soul, a caring heart.
Her kindness shone in all she did,
A light that never strayed from dark.

Her time with us was far too short,
Yet filled with love, with grace so true.
She faced her battle bravely still,
With quiet strength the whole way through.

She will be missed by all who knew her,
Her warmth, her smile, her loving ways.
Though grief now marks our tearful hearts,
Her memory lives through all our days.

“I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7

Now rest has come, the race complete,
Her pain released, her soul at peace.
Though gone from sight, she lives on still
In every heart she touched with love.

For Amari “Mari” Wheeler

She was twenty-two years of sunlight,
a laugh that filled every room,
the kind of soul you did not just meet.
You felt her.

To most, she was simply Mari,
a name that meant joy was close behind.
The life of the party,
and the life inside people.

Bold and fearless, an Aries to her core,
never afraid to stand out
or be exactly who she was.
You always knew when Mari arrived.

Lifted trucks standing tall,
squatted trucks riding low.
That was her world.
From show to show, state to state,
she carried energy, style, and a presence
that shifted the vibe the moment she pulled up.

She loved late-night drives and sad songs,
movie marathons that felt like home.
Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Vampire Diaries
were stories she loved,
now memories held close by those who loved her.

To her sister, she was sunshine,
a best friend,
a missing piece no one can replace.
Now every choice softly asks,
What would Mari do?
And that question keeps her near.

In just twenty-two years,
she did what many never do.
She found her purpose
and lived it out loud.

Though the world feels quieter now,
her light remains.
It lives in every laugh she sparked,
every friendship she built,
and every lifted or squatted truck
still riding in her honor.

Rest easy, Amari, our Mari.
Lifted high, forever shining,
never forgotten.
It is still your world.

A Life That Lives On

“I am the resurrection and the life,”
A promise spoken, steady and true.
Though earthly eyes now search in grief,
Faith assures life made new.

Kevin walked with quiet strength,
With working hands and a willing heart.
He brought light where darkness lived,
A craftsman skilled in every part.

Rooted deep in family love,
From mountain homes to places wide,
He carried values learned in youth
Where faith and kindness walked beside.

Love found him in a gentle way,
A partner’s laugh, a father’s pride.
In Kalyn’s smile, his joy lived on,
A bond no distance could divide.

Through autumn nights and fishing lines,
Through simple days both warm and true,
He made each moment matter more
By just being who he was to you.

He loved good music, comfort found,
A Cadillac, a meal well made.
With loyal pets and faithful friends,
His life was rich in love, not shade.

Though now his earthly work is done,
His spirit rests where peace abounds.
His lessons live, his love remains,
In hearts where cherished memories sound.

So we release him into grace,
Where tears are wiped and souls are free.
His life lives on in all he touched,
In love, in faith, eternally.

We gathered for a beautiful but painful celebration of Maddie’s life. Through the Mass, the release of doves, and butterflies lifted to the heavens, we honored her with love. Praying for her family during this time. With love, your Agape Family.

A Song That Never Ends
In loving memory of John Christopher “Chris” Welborn
July 23, 1971 – November 2, 2025

Now silence hums where songs once played,
Where music drifted, hearts were swayed,
A son, a father, a loyal friend,
Whose melody will never end.

From tender strings to roaring bands,
He shaped his world with gifted hands,
A rhythm deep within his soul,
Made broken hearts once more feel whole.

He spoke in chords, in laughter’s tone,
No one he met was left alone.
For every note, each song he played,
Was love in sound that never fades.

He taught his son beneath the stars
That life hums softly near and far,
From Iron Maiden’s thundering call
To whispered jazz in twilight’s fall.

Matthew carries now his flame,
The pulse of passion, music’s name,
A legacy of heart and art,
A father’s gift, his son’s new start.

And Erin, love that circled back,
Found him once more along life’s track,
Through chance, through time, through sacred signs,
Their souls entwined like faithful lines.

Though silence claims the earthly stage,
His spirit sings beyond the cage.
For those who knew his humor, grace,
Still feel his light in every place.

The amps are quiet, the curtain drawn,
Yet in each dawn his song plays on.
For love, like music, has no end.
Rest easy now, our truest friend.
