Bishop Bill McKinney

Only heard Him speak a few times at The 1988 January Revival, Bethal Pentacostal, Bishop Abney, Gtand Rapids, MI. ..i was Just quoting a line of His: "Some of Yall Angels got.dust on 'Em"...lol..Thought i'd look Him up and land here...R.i.p..

Dad,

It's one year later and it is still very hard. When I think of you it always brings a smile to my face. We had some good times and Lord knows some funny times. Words can't express how I long to see your face. I still can't listen to your last sermon here on earth. Maybe with time I can.

I am so Godly proud of mother. She is doing a wonderful job with the church. It has at times been very difficult but you know her, she can hold her own. She is truly a remarkable...

I wish with all my being that I was able to talk to Bishop one last time on earth. I miss my daddy, that is what he is to me, and I know I will see him again real soon. CFC may the peace of God rest upon your hearts. Lady Bishop and the first family stay encouraged. Bishop was the only father figure in my life that really cared in deed not just in word.

To Stacey and the entire McKinney family, I realize that your pain is tremendous right now (mine is too),and my prayer is that you reflect upon and cherish the wonderful memories of your dad and allow them to be a source of healing and strength. You were BLESSED beyond measure with Mr. McKinney as a father/husband. What you all had was something that a lot of people could only dream of. Yes, he's gone physically, but his spirit dwells in all of you. Let that spirit shine! I love you, and...

Uncle Bishop, me and my family miss you truly. We thought you would be here forever but God wanted you more. I will love you forever.

Auntie Shirley, I know you miss Uncle Bishop. I do too. Don't worry he's in a better place. I will pray for you everyday until you feel better. It is okay to cry when you are sad. I love you.

UNCLE, ALTHOUGH ME AND YOU DIDN'T TALK THAT MUCH I KNEW BETWEEN CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THERE WAS LITTLE TIME FOR THE REST AND THAT MADE THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER VERY SPECIAL AND I DO MISS YOU AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

Bishop,

You will be missed. My prayers are with the family and church.

Papa
I love and miss so much. I wish you could have lived until I was grown but I know you are in heaven now... I rather have you in heaven instead of surffering here on earth. You are the best papa!
Love your grandchild; Braxtyn McKinney
