I was so saddend to hear of the passing of Bro.Powers!!! He was there when I was born nearly 39 yrs ago and was there to help through the passing of my mother 24 yrs ago. I talked to Brother Powers just before I left for Army bootcamp in Aug. What a true treasure we have lost but I know he is right where he always wanted to be, Smiling down from Heaven!! God Bless his sweetest soul!!
