Reverend Bernard L. "B.L." Chandler

My condolences to the Chandler family. I didn't know my friend was gone. I was already missing him from the time I left the church we both were serving. May God Bless his wife and family, I truly loved and respected this man of God! Kevin Dunigan!

Great is Thy Faithfulness: Mrs. Chandlerand Family; I am deeply sadden by the passing of your beloved husband, Rev. Chandler: I will be praying for you on your journey without him. Know that God is with you daily, trust in the Lord, He will be by your side and give you comfort.

I am, today, fondly remembering, and shall never forget the hot summer days of teaching in the Youth Division at National Baptist Convention Congresses across the countrywhich was not for the faint of heart!!! Bernard was my sponsor introducing me to everyone; and he KNEW everybody!!!! By the end of the week all Natalie and I could say was a phrase we adopted from another teacher: sweet...JESUS!!! But Bernard thrived in it, loved it, and dedicated many years to it. So long for now old...

While I did not get to meet Rev. Chandler, I do know his wonderful daughter, Dr. Kimberly Chandler. All I need to know about him, I see in her. Through her, his legacy will continue and we all will be the benefactors of those blessings!

Praying for the entire Chandler family in your time of grief,
Rev. Dr. Andre E. Johnson and the members of Gifts of Life Ministries, Memphis, Tennessee
