To the Ragin/Bishop family,
Words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy in the passing of Mother Ragin-Bishop. Whe was gifted and talented having owned and operated a beauty shop. She also made hats. She sang and played a tamborine in Church, expressing in words and deeds how she felt about the Lord.
What I remember most about Mother Bishop is how she brought souls to Christ in her car, service after service for many years. Many of the souls she saw baptized in Jesus' name are still in Church today. She was indeed a "Soul Winner for Christ" as she went into the hedges and highways and sought those who were lost.
This is her legacy for which she will be remembered.
Love,
Jean Turnage and Family, Richmond, VA

To the Ragin/Bishop family,
I work with Mr. Ragin and I am truly touched by the homegoing of your Dear Mother. I can't say that I am sorry, because a saved person does not need sorrow, but instead, I'll give your Mother a "Hallelujah," shout! I didn't know her personally, but I have heard of wonderful and dear times spent with your Mother. I feel that all of you are wonderful persons, who had a very loving Mother and you all thought a lot of her.
Be stong and of good courage, for the Lord Our GOD is always good!
Humbly submitted...
The Carey Family.....Richmond, VA
