Condolences

Condolence From: William Bolt
Condolence: Youmans Family:
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss of William Youmans. Death affects everyone on the face of this earth, yet when it touches us personally, few seek the comfort they search for. The unscriptural doctrines that are taught concerning death do not leave those grieving with comfort or a hope, but they do leave many with unanswered questions. The response that "God works in mysterious ways", does not satisfy the spiritual needs of those who are grieving (Matthew 5:3). However, many have found comfort in the pages of God's word the Bible (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). In God's word we find the promise that we can be reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28, 29, Acts 24:15). The Bible tells us where this happy reunion will take place (Psalm 37: 11, 29, Matthew 5:5). We are told why we die (Genesis 3:17-19, Romans 5:12), and that the God of the Bible will end death forever (1 Corinthians 15:26, Revelation 21:3, 4). In the model prayer, also called the lord's prayer, readers are taught to pray for God's Kingdom (Matthew 6:10). Learning the truth about the God of the Bible (Psalm 83:18, Revelation 4:11), God's Kingdom (Daniel 2:44), and the state of those who have died (Ecclesiastes 9:5), is the start to finding true comfort concerning loved ones who are sleeping in death, as well as satisfying answers to many other questions (John 8:32, John 11:11).

Condolence: Dear Carol and Family,
Know that you are in my prayers. God considers each life precious and carefully notes the death of each of his people, who are called saints because of Christ. "Becasue God loves us, the problems and pain of life cannot completely engulf us. Just as the sun rises in the morning so God's faithfulness to us is new each day." Lamentations 3:22-23.
Peace and Blessings,
Deborah Dee Brayton

Condolence From: Thaddeus Blackshear
Condolence: My sincerest condolences to my loved ones. Uncle Willie was deeply loved and will be sorely missed. I didn't know him well or spend nearly enough time with him to know the deep profound intricacies of who he was as man. But an interesting truth I've learned about him from experience is that any amount of time you spend with him is in fact very memorable. His smile and his humor alone makes a long lasting deep impression that is truly unforgettable. Whether in our hearts, our minds or captured in still photographs his laughter, his life, his love, his memory runs deep. God Speed, Uncle Willie.

Love,

Thaddeus "Tabu" Blackshear

Condolence: Uncle Willie was gentle man with a childlike spirit. He had a calm charming demeanor and nothing seemed to bother him. He was a pleasure to be around. Although he was a man of few words, I looked forward to spending as much time as I could with him. I would often ask him how he was doing. He would respond by tilting his head, shrugging his shoulders, lifting his hands and saying “what am I gonna do?”. He never complained during his arduous battle with cancer. His illness never made him bitter or caused him to question “why?”.
He was a champion in every sense of the word.

Uncle Willie answered God's call when he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. He found great comfort and peace in the scriptures read to him and the prayers of faith offered on his behalf.
He’s in the arms of God now and the angels are surely rejoicing over his arrival.........

I will always love my Uncle Willie and cherish the fond memories he left behind.

Condolence From: Douglas Barry Youmans (a.k.a.) Ha\
Condolence: Everybody I know loved respected and when necessary feared Uncle Willie. The man has a very special way about himself. My earliest memories of Uncle Willie are of him as a tall cool and serious man. Most of the Youmans men were and are serious, but Uncle Willie was quite serious. I don't have many memories of him laughing, but when he did laugh, it always made you feel good.

Uncle Willie did many things that I remember from the times when I was a boy. I remember how he was the first one to get me to eat onions and appreciate it. He used to make us hot dogs and chop up a raw onion, mix it with ketchup and mustard and say..."and you better eat that boy!" I would, I did and it was good, and I knew I didn't like onion's, but I knew I wasn't gonna play with Uncle Willie about eating his food ethier...so those onions were real good.

Uncle Willie was always a Strong man. As a child I always thought that he was the only man that was as strong as my father (Herbert Lee Youmans), he proved it a few times too. Like that time when me and Sha stayed with him in Brooklyn, I don't know what got into us, we must have been crazy or something (I hope Sha is there reading this or at least hearing it)but we set a mattress on fire right between the building we was staying in and the one right next to it; it couldn't have been more than three feet between each building.

I don't know if you know it, but cotton burns real good, I mean fast. So we down there with our little matches and walking on top of all this dirt, and garbage, old furniture and stuff...and we see the mattress. Now I don't remember who had the matches or who started the fire, what I do remember was just when we started to light another piece of that cotton, Uncle Willie stuck his head out the window and saw us, "hey you stupid little nigga's, what the hell y'all think you doing? Put that shit down and I'm gonna kill you!"

Me and Sha broke out, I mean we was diggin' as hard as we could to get out of there, cause we knew he was gonna kill us. Uncle Willie was strong, just like I said, but he was smart too. When he got downstairs, he knew he couldn't catch us, so he paid this older girl (she was a teenager) five dollars to catch us; she caught Sha, but she couldn't catch me, I was too scared! But Uncle Willie, with his smart self let the girl run me through the park, and just when I thought I had got away, you know, cause I cleared that fence with one hop, Uncle Willie was standing right there soon as I came down on the other side of that fence and caught me in his arms. He nearly killed both of us that day, but he loved us, and I knew that!

I love you too, Uncle Willie, and I wish that I could have been there to catch you before you fell into this. But we are all here today to tell you that we love you, and that even though we could not hold you up this time, we know that your love and our love holds us all together, and this is a wonderful family, this Youmans family, because we have great members like you.

You will be missed, but you will always be one among our ranks that gave us good examples, love and lessons on being serious men and women. Now, be with God forever, as God has always been with you, and with us. From God we came, with God we live, as God in us, we choose to give, lessons in life and love we trust, until our day when return to God we must! All praise is due to God for the life he gave to us, William Edward Youmans, we stand together and honor you! The Youmans Family.
