Bro Loper I never had the privilege of meeting you, but heard of the wonderful man of God you were. I wish I had the pleasure of hearing you preach. Praying for your precious wife Carol, may God hold her hand and help her through these sorrowful days ahead. God bless you Carol.

Bro. Billy Joe (Poppa to us) married us over 10 years ago. He counciled with us before hand and I can still hear him say, "Marriage is not to be taken lightly. I don't want to hear of y'all in a month or two or years from now calling it quits. You hear Daniel?" . He probably would have taken us behind the wood shed! He always had something funny to say but he was serious as well. He was a great man of God and will be truly missed. We love you Poppa and will see you again. Love you Meme and family!
