Although we grieve his passing. His Journey is only starting on a "new" path. The memories and presence in our Hearts and minds will continue always.I will always cherish and try to emulate the passion that Mr. Majors showed me during my Growth as a member of the the Prince Chapel AME Family. We have lost so many "good" Friends. Men's Day won't be the same without Majors, Hale and Bush; But we will carry their work forward. God Bless and comfort ....
