To the family and friends of Rodney H. Rusty Fowlkes sorry for the loss of your loved one. He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

Growing up with you was a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience (especially you bullying the Valley boys to stay away from your little cousin) and I love you dearly. Boy, you had that bullying technique down pat although I ended marrying one of them!!!!! Talking with you through and witnessing your long suffering illnesses over the years were some of the hardest things I've had to do, but other than that and watching you transition yesterday morning it was almost all good. You were like an extra brother! I thank God that you knew I was there with you during your last illness and your final hours and hope my love and presence brought you some peace and comfort. Rubbing your face and body to relax and sooth you certainly brought the same peacefulness to me. Many people didn't "get you" and missed out on the opportunity to enjoy a funny, loving, wonderful but sometimes gruff, sarcastic, no-nonsense man. I'm so glad I lived on your good side and know as well how much you loved and respected me. (LOL) I will miss our chats and the laughter but I know that your spirit will always be with me. Take care of the family up there and give everyone my undying and unconditional love. Kisses and {{{{{HUGS}}}}} ..... until we meet again. Rest In Paradise forever, Rusty! All my love, Pat

IN LOVING MEMORY OF RODNEY ("RUSTY") FOWLKES Sometimes God picks the flower that is still in full bloom Sometimes the rosebud chosen we feel He’s picked too soon Sometimes the flower is fading with petals floating down But God knows the perfect time to gather flowers from the ground Life is but a stopping place A pause in what's to be A resting place along the road to sweet eternity Our destination is a place Far greater than we know For some the journey's quicker For some the journey's slow You fell asleep without goodbye But memories of you will never die Time may pass and fade away But memories of you will always stay A cluster of memories sprinkled with tears Wishing God had spared you a few more years Tenderly we treasure the past With memories that will surely last Don't think of him as gone away his journey's just begun life holds so many facets this earth is only one Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much
