He leaves to cherish his memories : nine children; Marentha Chew(Henry )of Alexandria,LA; Henry L. Earthly of Pineville,LA; Elvin R.

Inspired by the beauty; that each day tends to give; we set out on a journey; to find how best to live.
We walk by faith and not by sight; as step-by-step we climb; upon this stairway, upward, towards heaven's paradise.
The steps are sometimes difficult; but each day made complete; by treasured moments that we share; and a promised place of peace.
Finally our steps ascend; beyond the veil of life; destiny unfolds in glory; in heaven's paradise.
