I extend my deepest sympathy to all of the family.Sister Green was a wonderful woman. My late husband,Bishop(formerly Elder) William H. Taylor & I Were truly blessed by her membership at Bethel Star Holiness Church, Joyners, VA. She worked faithfully and lovingly under his pastorship over 20 years, until he resigned for health reasons. He went home to Jesus in April 2008. Now, they can rejoice together with the other saints in God's presence forever. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

To the family,
What a woman, it saddened my heart to hear Miss Gerty, had taken her leave, but to have known the lady and her legacy, the sadness was temporary.
Though she will be greatly missed to have known her and to have loved her is truly a gift from God.
I pray that your hearts will soon be relieved of the grief, and the grief will be replaced with songs of joy.
God Bless each one of you.
