Evangelist Faye A. Waldren & Family:

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father and loved one. He is in a peaceful place now and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

As I reflect on the life of your Father, Deacon Ellis Waldren, I cannot help but remember when my family and I lived on Locust Street. I am grateful for how those older people kept us children in line.

Deacon Waldren lived a full life in which I am grateful for the opportunity of our paths crossing. May God rest his soul.

What a glorious reunion it must be to have your parents united in eternity along with my parents and others who bore the burden of the heat of the day. They are now together rejoicing and praising GOD like never before. Your father ran a race "well done." May the love of your family and friends carry you through your grief. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Reverend Ronzo "Ronnie" Byrd Lee
