Orvin White Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Rev. Orvin N. Jr. WHITE 10th Anniversary in Heaven
January 21, 1946 you looked me in the eyes and said three little words, "I love you." March 4, 1999, you again looked me in the eyes and whispered those three little words, "I love you." I was holding you in my arms as I felt your spirit leave. I held on tight and said, I want to go too, but God whispered to me and said, "There's more work for you to do." God saw you getting tired. A cure was not to be. God put His arms around you and whispered, "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched as we saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, your tender hands at rest, God took you home to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Forever in our hearts,
Laura Colleene R. White
and Family
