Dear Sis. Nancy and family,
We just want you all to know that our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. We are so thankful for the life of Bro. Doyle and the Christian example that he, and his family lived before us. Some of my earliest memories of the church there in Lima are of Bro. Doyle there at his post of duty as a deacon of the church. We share in your sorrow now, but we will also share in your rejoicing when we all meet in that Great Meeting in the air, it's our promise! God bless you all in Jesus name, Joel, and Lori Seay and family

Dear Sister Nancy and family, though we have tears caused by this temporary separation from our dear and precious Brother Doyle we all came to know, to admire, to love and to reference in our lives, yet we're standing by you in prayer and sympathy during this difficult time. What an assurance of his resurrection in Christ, Brother Doyle had lived out all these years of his oneness with the Word of our maker! The love of God and the blood of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, had once again unveiled another hero of “The Faith” of the group of Hebrews 11 to walk by us in simplicity! May God's peace and strength be with you!

Dear Sister Nancy and Hatfield Family: Our prayers have been with you for several months, and it is the Mind of our Lord Jesus to have received His son, Doyle, to Himself at this time. Our prayers will continue with you until we soon join with him and Jesus. Bro. Doyle was so remarkably kind and sincere, and it was a pleasure and joy to fellowship with him. We especially remember the outstanding testimony that he bore for the Message of Jesus Christ and His prophet, Brother Branham. The sacrifices that you and he endured to fulfill God's Will in following Him is truly an example of stalwart Believers today. You have our deepest respect and prayers, as you continue on serving the Bride of Jesus Christ.
