I love you so much. I miss you. We will meet again one day.
You have fought the good fight and run your course. Now you sing with the angels. This world will be a little emptier without you but you did leave a footprint.
Dear Cathy,
I just learned about Malcom’s passing. I had taken the day off work & ran into a mutual friend at a store today who told me! We always enjoyed hearing Malcom sing & I can still see the smile that would come over his face & the joy he had when he would get to lead the choir in a song about Jesus. I know he’s smiling before Jesus now, as he’s gone to join the Heavenly choir, with other ones who have gone before him. James & I hope to see you tomorrow night to offer our heartfelt condolences & a hug. God bless you & your family at this difficult time & may He wrap His loving arms around you.
Because He Lives,
Cheryl Dutton
Cathy,
So sorry to learn of Malcolms passing. We will be out of town this week but you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Malcolm was a good fun loving guy and will be missed by all who knew him. My best.
Gerald Davidson
Well Malcolm, I know there are countless tears being shed here on earth with your passing. But I also believe the laughter in heaven has already been increased tenfold with your arrival. Perpetual light shin on you Malcolm.
It was great getting to know you the last 8 months. You were such a warm and welcoming person. Heaven gained A Holy Angel for sure and I know you are singing with the angels right now and telling stories!!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I haven’t seen Malcomb for many years but he was always nice to me and opened his home for spend the night parties with Melissa. I know he is in no more pain and in a much better place sitting next to Jesus. Prayers for your family during this time.
I’m so sorry, Cathy. Malcolm was, such a good neighbor and friend. He had a firm handshake, contagious smile, spoke softly and was a great example of what being a Christian is and means. I’m saddened by his loss, but thankful he is no longer in pain. My heart goes out to you and the family. We will continue to keep you lifted in prayer and we will continue to be here to help whenever and for whatever is needed.
Malcom’s awesome smile, and beautiful voice will be missed, but only for a little while. We will worship Jesus with him once again in glory soon!!!!
Malcom has arrived at his eternal home., and we will see him again. Cathy, that promise of God is what we must hold to. My heart aches for you while rejoicing for Malcom. I love you both.
Malcolm, we just learned of your illness our at NMBC this past year before we relocated to WV. You are a wonderful, devoted child of Christ. You are in his kingdom now. Fly high sweet friend, till we meet again!
Cathy, we will miss Malcolm and his smiling face in the choir. I am so happy I had the pleasure of knowing him. I pray God’s comfort for you, as you go through this very difficult time. We know he is in his eternal home, and you will see him again.
Rick and Laura, my prayers goes out to you and the family of Malcolm, a loss of a brother is hard, I know. But he will always be with you in your Hearts.
Cathy, Willie and I haven’t know you and Malcolm for a long time but it was a delight to sing in the choir with both of you at North Metro. What a wonderful witness Malcolm was as he sang “Oh What a Savior” last fall. Our journeys were somewhat similar in that anything we accomplished during treatment was solely from the Lord. His legacy will live on through his family and the wonderful testimony his life was to us. We look forward to singing praises with him at the feet of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “I can only imagine…”
I am blessed that God chose you and Rick to be my big brothers. I will cherish a lifetime of precious memories of our childhood and family life and later as adults and parents and grandparents. I’m thankful that you prayed for me and modeled the life of a Christian man. We will be together again some day. Till then, I find comfort knowing you’re in heaven singing to Jesus and glorifying Him!!! Big love from your baby sister, Lala
Cathy, Jared & Melissa – we love you and are praying you feel God’s strength and peace.
A very sad time for those of us who had the chance to worship with Malcolm. When he worshiped, he did so in spirit and in truth and was a blessing to those listened as well as those who participated. He will be greatly missed. Praying God’s grace and comfort during this sad and difficult time.
Cathy, Meta and I are praying for your family and you as you go through these days ahead. It has been an ideal pleasure to know Malcom and you for many years and were so glad when you returned to N. Metro. I will always remember Malcom’s concern for his Dad and his salvation and will always share that evening when I had an opportunity to visit with the three of you. It was a pleasure to have Malcom’s Dad in our Sunday School Class and now he and Malcom are enjoying their reunion with Jesus. Because of Jesus we are able to smile through our tears.
Sometimes in life, things happen that you have to struggle to find the words to explain how you feel. Gerry and I have thought about the special relationship that we have with you and Malcom. Although Malcom is now gone, he certainly will not be forgotten. Although we were separated by time and distance, Gerry and I most certainly considered him a true brother in Christ. As we grow older, and stare our own moretility in the face, we take great comfort in recognizing that we shall meet again. God BLESS you Malcom & Cathy. There will be another time when we shall talk to you face to face without sickness or sorrow. Forever your brother and sister in Christ. Gerry & Robin Walker
My thoughts and prayers are with you. God will guide you through these next difficult days, and we know you’ll see Malcom again one day.
I am so sorry to hear of Malcom’s passing. I have many fond memories of the Lee family, having lived across the street from them many years ago in Macon. After reading his obituary, I can see he made a positive impact on the lives of friends, family, and his community. May he rest in peace.
I still cherish our friendship in Highschool,and after! My wife Terry Brown told me you were her first date,glad it did work out for me !!! RIP Brother !
I still have wonderful memories of the whole Lee family. I’m sorry to hear about the loss. Much love, Lavonne and Paul
Cathy –
I am so very sorry for your loss. Malcolm was a kind man with a wonderful voice. And I loved just seeing you two together. He is in his eternal home now and in no more pain. I pray for your comfort.
I miss you grandpa, You shined brighter than any star ever could.
