We are praying for you and your family in the loss of our beloved brother in Christ. We at Warren Memorial COGIC loved this man of God and already miss his presence. He was a learned student of the gospel and could explain it so clearly as a Sunday School teacher. He was a very loyal and faithful saint. We are saddened but we know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May the Lord comfort you in this hour.
