To the Meadows Family: I met Rev. Meadows and Mrs. Meadows when he was President of the District Union #1. He was a dedicated, devoted servant of God. Rev. Meadows was always greeting you with a smile and a warm, spirtual hello. He will be truly missed for his good and honest deeds in carrying out God's plans that were placed on his heart.

My heartfelt sympathy to the entire Meadows family. Truly Rev. Meadows was a God-fearing, God-centered, and God-loving servant and his family is a reflection of God's love as quoted in the Holy Scriptures - We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another 1 John 3:14.
