Trust in God
Know that God makes no mistakes So when God called my name, I dared not hesitate. I didn’t have to think twice, For, I knew my time had come. The day I’ve long awaited, My time to rejoice with the Lord See, life is not determined by physical proximity Neither is faith determined by what we see So, know within your heart, that I am still with you I hear every word and see everything God has taken me to a world so beautiful Away from a world so cold The love he shows me has healed my heart And soothed my soul A place so perfect, nothing you could imagine Nothing you could explain A place free of hunger, heartache and pain I am with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ I am with my God, living eternal life. ~Author unknown
Obituary Russell Clemen Donaldson was born on December 21, 1954 in Broadway, NC to the Late Roosevelt and Vivian Donaldson. He transitioned from this life on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 in Greensboro, NC. “Clemen” as he was affectionately called graduated from Broadway High School. During his life he had a passion for fishing, even though he didn’t eat fish, he loved to fish. He was a hard worker and known for building houses for the Thomas Family in Broadway, NC. Clemen had a love for people and he was a people person. If you would ask anyone to describe him they would say: that he was a kind hearted, loving person that would give you the shirt off of his back. He worked for 18 years as the maintenance manager at Mt. Sinai Homes in Fayetteville, NC. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roosevelt and Vivian Donaldson; his brothers, Warren Davis, Rodney and Steven Donaldson, and sister-in-law, Cynthia Denise Donaldson. He leaves to cherish his memories: his two daughters, NaTasha Donaldson of Sanford, NC and Tiffany Donaldson of Fayetteville, NC; his grandchildren, Jada, Jasmine, Tatice, Tramez, Tres’Jon, Jon-Jon, Trinidy, Taliyah, Makaylah, and Nadiyah; sisters: Martha King (Fred) of Raeford, NC, Rachel Williams (Craig) of Hampton, VA, Beverly Romero (Ben) of Sprout Springs, NC, and Natalie Donaldson (Anthony) of Broadway, NC; his brothers, Vincent “Dale” Donaldson of Dublin County and Stephen Donaldson (Kim) of Cameron, NC; his best friends, John Battle, Quinton Amerson, Calvin Scott, The Power Swain Family and his extended family, the staff of Mt. Sinai Homes and host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
