Granddaddy lately I find myself thinking of you more and more. As I look over to see your picture on my wall sometimes I smile thinking of my first and last summer vacation with you, remembering all the kisses and tight hugs you would give every time you saw me, and then other times I look over at your picture and tears begins to run down face. I miss you so much. I love you always Granddaddy.

I am saddened to hear of this loss. I considered A.W. as a friend and was so thankful he was in my PTS Personal Transformation class. Thank God for the hope we have in Jesus, and that we will see A.W. again. My prayers are with you all.

Dad, not a day goes by that I do not think of you and that wonderful smile that could light up the darkest day. Oh how I'll miss hearing you say "my darling Ang", but my heart knows that our lives are entrusted to God and one glad morning when this life is over we will fly away. I'll love you for eternity. Your Darling Ang

Dad, I will forever remember your smile and the sound of your voice. Not a day will pass that I won't think of you. But, I rejoice in the fact that I will see you again someday. Like we use to sing, " When all God's children get together, what a time, what a time, what a time" I love you, Your Babygirl

My son was a musician at Thankful Baptist Church in Phila when we were first aquainted with Rev. Dock.
His stirring revivals always made us want to learn more of the strength and joy of knowing Jesus.

We are saddened to learn of his death but his legacy should live through the sermons he preached.

May God bless his family is our prayer.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
