To the family of Mother Dingle,
I thank God for the life of Mother Dingle. Her love and faithfulness to God has truly been an inspiration to my life. She was taught me many things about living for God that has helped to shape and change my life forever. She was more than a pastor to me. She took care of me during the most trying times of my life. I will miss her and will pray God gives you all the strength to make it during this time. I recently lost my mother so I know how it feels. I believe my mother and Mother Dingle are somewhere around God's throne, giving Him the praise! God bless you and love you all.

My grandmother. What can't I say about her. She was just the most precious woman that anyone in this world would ever want to know. I loved her so much. I miss her so much. When I think about all of the hard labor that she has put into all of the souls that she has brought to the Lord. If it wasn't for her I don't think that I would have ever known the Lord for myself. I will truely, truely miss her. She was my anchor, and my rock literally. May God rest her soul. I love you Grandma. Your Grand-daughter, Nia Malika Love
