Pallbearers Jonathan Davis Richard Brown Rudolph Scott, Jr. Homegoing Celebration for Corey Thomas Michael Scott Bobby Howard Victor Scott q Sharon D. Raines 1959 - 2013 Do Not Stand By My Grave And Weep c. James McCreary Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am no there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush; of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. To My Wife and My Best Friend: Thank you for the love that you gave me. Thank you for making me the best man that I can be. And thank you for being my BEST FRIEND. - Love Always, Henry Raines, Jr. q Acknowledgments We, the family, appreciate and wish to thank each and everyone for all acts of kindness during our bereavement.
