As one who once saw Mr Dykes come into the jail, he was the sign to me that Jesus is still here beside us, faith is still strong and God still loves us.

I just wanted to send my prayers and deepest thoughts. I was blessed to get to know Mr. Dykes while he was in Still Waters. I remember that last Tuesday when he was preaching and singing for all of us during our morning prayer. It was so beautiful and he even lead us in prayer that morning. It showed how he was so full of the love of God and was truely a godly man. I will truely miss him, and and will miss seeing his smile every morning during our staff prayer. We Love you all and will...

Martha and Mary Jane, I loved Bro. Dykes and he knew it...so do you. He was always kind and loving to my parents...to Allen and to me. He was always interested in what I was doing and we enjoyed our visits. I am so glad you brought him to eat lunch with us in Wellborn. I have been thinking of him so much this summer. I know Heaven's Gates were open wide for him as he entered in to his Savior's loving arms. I will miss him.
Love always,
Jane Tyree Lowe and family

Mary Jane, Martha and Family. You have my deepest sympathy. Rev. Dykes was my 6th grade school teacher and we used to sing songs every morning. He was my favorite teacher. Over the years he became friends with my father. Your father and your brother John would take him down to Gainesville for treatments when my father had his stroke. he was a fine Christian man. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Hansen
