Ms. Minerva and the Entire Drayton Family, Dea. Drayton "The Praying Deacon" as I often called him will be greatly missed. His quite mannerism, his slow smoth walk down the aisles of the church and around the tables in the fellowship hall. The way he would always stop and talk with the children all ages even the youngest. The encouragement he always had for the college students. The kind comments he gave to the Sunbeam Choir with smiles.
The questions he would challenge us with during daytime bible study and then laughter that followed.
His prayers reached all the way from earth to heaven. May you find comfort in knowing He is with his Heavenly Father he often prayed to. My Prayers, Love and Sympathy, Deborah D.
