Evangelist White, I rejoice with you for this home going cellebration. Although bitter sweet, the memories and teachings of your father will remain in your heart. The laughter, tears, and prayers you've shared have been answered and the mantle passed on. The best part is that God shared him with you and your family for a long season. Now God has called him home to be with Him. Rejoice in the fact that God is still being Glorifed through your father even now. My prayers for you and your family always.

To The Berrien Families:
On the "Wings of Death", the soul takes flight into the land where there is no night---for those who believe what the Saviour said will rise in glory though they be dead---so death comes to us just to open the door to the "Kingdom of God' and life forevermore. Mr. George have gone on to enjoy his heavenly mansion.
I truly believe that the passing of Mr. George is the will of the higher purpose and calling. Moreover, I realize that a human tie has been broken which bleeds the heart in agony and pain. Please be encouraged and consoled in the words of Jesus who said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you".
I emrabce your families because I realize your pain is deep and your sorrow is great, but I do know that I share in your sorrow, more importantly, I believe that Mr. George's transition is Heaven's gain.
May God bless your families abundantly and may you have double portions of SHALOM {PEACE}---forever rooted in God's amazing love.

Dear Evangelist White:
Truly I am sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved father. Although I did not know him personally I appreciate that he was partially responsible for giving you life. Knowing who you are let's me know something about him. I know how difficult it is to see a love one go but I believe the Lord is so happy to have Him with Him.
May you experience fully the comfort and the love of Christ during this time of bereavement. "Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning." Psa. 30:5
Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.
Love,
Min. Johnnie Mae
