I will surely miss Deacon Archie, he was a wonderful man and I so enjoyed him as my principal for so many years as a little girl and then getting to know him as a wonderful man of God when I joined Hills Creek many years ago. He gave me some great advice on how to keep up with my keys one day after losing them and he finding them twice. He is a true example of "A Man of God". The heavens are rejoicing as he has come home.
God bless, the Hall & Allen family
