ORDER OF SERVICE

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He'll prepare for us a place.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav'ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Chorus: When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory!

Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold.

Isaiah 57:1 2 …. Charity Dean

| Mr. Neno Newbold “City of Gold”

There’s a city of light Where there cometh no night ‘Tis a city of beauty untold; All my treasures are there And it’s beauty I’ll share; When I get to that City of Gold

There’s no sorrow up there In that city so fair And no sickness can enter I’m told; Shadows all would have flown, I will meet friends I've know When we get to that City of Gold

Chorus:

When I leave all trouble and care, I will say good morning up there; I will have great gladness untold, When I get to that City of Gold

Won’t you go there with me To the home of the free, Would you see heaven's beauty unfold; If you will, come along We will sing heaven’s song When I get to that City of Gold

“It’s Alright Now”

There was a time I travelled A lonely sinful road Beneath a heavy burden bending low But now all things are different For Jesus took my load It’s alright now I’m His I know

Chorus:

It’s alright now for I am in my Saviors care. It’s alright now my Savior hears and answers prayers He’ll walk beside me ‘til I climb the heavenly stair And everything is alright now

A down a lonely pathway Without a friend to guide I walked in sin a sorrow all alone ‘Til Jesus came and found me And drew me to his side It’s alright now for I’m His own

No more in sin I wander No more in darkness roam The Lord has placed my feet on higher ground Each day new heights I’m gaining My soul is nearing home It’s alright now I’m heaven bound.

Tributes

MY FATHER for me and taught

It is indeed a blessing to spend your childhood in a house that a father is present During my twenty seven years with my Father, I learnt a lot of important manhood lessons that were really helpful and I definitely acquired a vast amount of practical skills from him Tasks like changing a car tire, checking the fluids in a vehicle, priming a water pump and lawn maintenance were all taught to me by my father. One of the things I admired most about my Father was his will to solve problems in a time effective manner For example, after a hurricane if any shingles flew off the roof my father would be making his way on the roof as soon as possible to replace the shingles and handle any other roof damage that he was capable of repairing Another attribute I admired about my father was that he was always willing to render assistance There was an instance where I told my father that one of my tyres went flat that night and I told him that I will put the spare tyre on in the morning When I woke up that next morning he had already used my key, opened my vehicle and swapped the tyres for me and I appreciated that My father also helped me to achieve some of my goals One day I told my father I wanted to sharpen my basketball skills and he said he will assist me That weekend he built me a wooden post and bought me a rim from sports center and attached it. Also, he carried me to different community parks every Sunday so I could get experience playing in different environments. I will truly Miss my Dad but the love will always be there and I appreciate all he did

MY BROTHER

It is indeed a shocking situation to see you have to be laid to rest at such a young age Growing up we shared a lot of great memories and also into our adult life I can recall us riding bicycles together, playing basketball and bat and ball I was present at your wedding and all other special ceremonies you've hosted We both have shared some vital information that enhanced one another and we also shared practical skills to increase competence in different areas of life. Philip had a strong will and he would always recover and strategize on ways to move forward after encountering obstacles I will indeed miss my brother's presence but the memories

will be cherished forever

MY FRIEND to me and I appreciate him and he will be truly missed.

I met Philip Bowe for the first time in 1992 when I bought a house in the same neighborhood as him Over these past 30 years we have grown to be very great friends and supported each other as best as we possibly could There were task he would assist me with and task I would assist him with In the mornings and most evenings when we see each other we would have conversations about some of the events happening worldwide and existing matters in The Bahamas Additionally, we also held countless conversations about the bible and spiritual matters Whenever, I went away on a family vacation I could always count on Philip to watch my house for me and do yard inspections daily He was truly a great friend

OUR BROTHER

We have known you to always be a positive influence Philip was always willing to render great advice at any given time Additionally, we also admired how he was able to make strategic decisions and execute his plans efficiently One of his favorite sayings were, "Hard work never harm anyone " Furthermore, Philip was also protective his presence alone would make you feel safe and at ease Another thing we admired about Philip was his morality He was a man who held a great degree of integrity and he stood firmly on ethical principles Words can't express how much sadness your death surrounded us with but we will always love and appreciate you
