Not sure what to say?

As we come upon the 1yr anniversary of our beloved Bishops passing, we find ourselves reflecting on all his good works. He was a leader, a brother, a father and a friend.Although he's gone, he's with us in spirit. He gave us a new leader, His son Rev.Terry Mcclain, whom we love and support very much. We know he's looking down on us and smiling saying"Good Work and if you need to talk just call on me" Thank You Bishop for being a part of my Life, I Love You.

Peace be with you Mac. You made an impression on me as a man full of love and God. You always had a big smile and a great laugh. Mac you are now at those Pearly Gates where you will be bathed in the Lord's warm embrace. Mary you are a very wonderful woman, and such a fantastic cook, Peace be With You. I worked with Mac at the Housing Authority. Mac you will alwayz be remembered.

My memories of my Uncle Bennie will always be of being so excited knowing that my Uncle Bennie and Aunt Mary were coming all the way from California to Detroit in a big van; and sitting at the table eating a big breakfast with biscuits. I'll always have the memories.
-LOVE-

To the Family
Reverand McClain will always be in the hearts of everyone who knew him. I am reminded of those days when The Famous Pearly Gates sang at various churches, no matter how large or small throughout the Sacramento area; never turning down an opportunity to share the good news about God. He gave unselfishly of his musical talents that the Lord blessed him with and for that, we are greatful. Reverand McClain's legend will continue to live on not only in his family members but in...

To First Lady Mary McClain & Family, my prayers are with you during your time of sorrow. You have my deepest sympathy.
