Mary, Arnold is one of the few people I know who actually walked the walk consistently. I never heard a dissenting word from him although he had lots of reasons when we worked together. His cheerful spirit touched me as few have. Blessed are the pure in heart. Stay strong in the Lord.

Mary and the Posey family,
Our deepest thoughts and heartfelt sympathy go out to you. We remember Arnold at the Bible study in your home in Irving when we were attending Calvary Temple back in the 80's. We remember one very powerful comment Arnold made to us after a Full Gospel luncheon. He said that "all the trials we go through on this earth are not for us but for the people whose lives we'll touch!" He was a wonderful man.
God Bless You,

I am sorry to hear of Arnold's passing. I have no doubt that God has just as much work for him to do in Heaven as he did on earth.
God bless you. We have you in our prayers.
