There is a place called Heaven, Son,
beyond the skies above,
It is the place where GOD is watching,
His Heart so full of Love.
He watches all His children, Son,
He watches you and me,
He wants to know we love Him, and
hopes that we will be...
Always strong and healthy, always
kind and free!
But, sometimes, things do happen, Son,
and sickness takes a hold,
It might be something serious, it
might be just a cold.
GOD sends His special angels,
to watch over us and pray,
And, by our side they linger, they
are never far away.
They lift us up on angels' wings when
we are all too weak,
And, oh!, they pray so softly, Son,
with gentle whispers do they speak.
So, have no fear, my darling, should
GOD come to take you Home,
For it is up there in that Heaven,
Son, where you will run and laugh
and roam!
You will hear that angel choir rejoice
in praises to the LORD,
And, my darling precious child, you
never will be sick, again...
No, never, anymore!!
But, most of all, you will meet the
King, our Saviour, your Best Friend,
oh my!,
If I could see him take your hand, I
know that I would cry!!
You have fought so long, you gave your
all..GOD says it's time to rest,
We will always love and miss you, Ellis,
but GOD...He knows what's best!

Obituary
Mr. Arthur Lee Waters
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4.
Arthur Lee Waters was born on July, 24, 1969 in Sumter County, Georgia to Mrs. Lula Mae Ross Waters and Mr. Carl Waters.
Arthur Lee was baptized on October 14, 1983 by his beloved Pastor, Rev. H. C. Wilson. He was a proud graduate of the Class of 1987 at Americus High School. He was a faithful student at Southern Star DDC. After school you could find Arthur Lee at the Rucker Street Park listening to his music. He loved people and he loved his music. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Ms. Mary Lou Ross, Mr. Arthur Waters, and Mrs. Rosie Lee Waters. Arthur Lee died peacefully on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at his home.
His smile will forever be etched into the hearts of his devoted mother, Mrs. Lula Mae Waters; his father, Carl Waters; his aunts: Varness Sutton, Ethel Scott, Mary Harvey, Barbara Ross, Frances (James) McGrady, Doris Isaac, Vivian Waters, and Mattie Waters; his uncles: Horace (Mary) Waters, Moses (Alma) Ross, and Otha Waters; his devoted care giver, Annie Ruth Muff; his devoted friends: James “Chainsaw” Muff, Joann Green and Charlie Morgan; several devoted cousins, his Rucker Street Park family and friends.
God called you home in the twinkling of an eye,
There was no time to say good-bye
The millions of times we have cried
If loving you could have saved you
You never would have died.
Death is a heartache, that no one can heal,
Memories are something that no one can steal,
Others may forget you are gone
But I will remember, no matter how long.
