Diane and Family,

Just wanted to let all of you know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. We know that Bro. Haney is in a wonderful place and that he's totally healed.

When my Mom shared this with me last night, I told her that I bet he was up in heaven catching up with my father, Bryce Winter.

We wish that we could have been there for all of you but the distance makes it difficult. Give all your family our love.

In His Name

Diane, Chris, Penny and Jon. When I heard about Pastor my thoughts went to all of you and to the wonderful memories I have of your family. If it had not been for pastor there is no telling what road my life would be on. It was under his ministry I saw my dad worship God the only time in his life. Charley and I were saved. Me, Charley and Mother committed our lives to Jesus and are still on that road. I have so many loving memories of Pastor. My Prayers will be with you all as you say good by to a remarkable Preacher of Jesus Christ!!!!
Thank You!!! I Love You All!!!!

Diane,

My sincere sympathies to you and the family. You and Lewis were so kind to me when I arrived in Gadsden in the early 80's. Lewis' sermons always moved me. He was a great and yet gentle person.
