Marcus, on behalf of the MCHS Class of 1991, please know that we will keep you and your family in our prayers. II Corinthians 5:6-8 states "So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." Your dad is now in the presence of the Lord and yet another ANGEL to watch over and protect us on this journey of life.
Be blessed!

Someone once said that the greatest evidence of a life is in the fruit borne out of that life. While I
never had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Meadows, I do have the pleasure of knowing some of his fruit. I currently work with one of his daughters, Mrs. Taylor, at Salem Middle School. Mr. Meadows' legacy and integrity continue to live through his children. I have been blessed to know Mr. Meadows vicariously through his daughter. My prayers are with the family at this time of loss and bereavement. While your loss was sudden and unexpected, God knows the best in every situation. So take comfort in knowing that Mr. Meadows is resting comfortably in the bosom of Abraham. Blessings and peace to you.
