Such a beautiful soul. I always enjoyed listening to Evangelist Wilhight’s words of wisdom and insight concerning our walk and labor in the Lord. Lady Bailey and I extend our hearts and prayers to the entire Wilhight family during this valley of sorrow. One thing we do know, even in the COVID-19 climate; our sister, co-laborer in the Lord, is “absent from the body and present with the Lord. She fought a good fight and finished her race!

To the Family
Evangelist Wilhight was a dear saint to the body of Christ. A powerful Prayer Warrior. We had many late night talks. She would encourage you to go on with the Ly. Even when she was not feeling well.
May the peace and memories of her comfort you at this time.
