Rev. Howard Black

Dear Sister Black and Family,

Where do I begin to tell the things I learned sitting under Brother Black and growing up in the Church that he obeyed the Lord and started so many years ago?

I was about 9 or 10 yrs old when I can remember worshiping God and rehearsing Christmas plays in that old storefront on Denison Ave.

To build a Church seemed like such a dream to a little girl, but I saw it come to fruition through Brother Black's hard work, determination, and...

Dear Mom, Thresia, Lisa, and Jason,
I cannot put into words my sorrow. I do not even want to think about life without dad. So many great memories. I wish we still had hime with us. I was not done helping taking care of him. It was a pleasure and honor to do so. At least we have no regrets. We got him home and gave him the best of care. It is so hard--I loved him so very very much.

We were saddened to hear of Rev.Blacks's homegoing. Not because he is reaping the reward of his labors of love. Nor because he is walking on those streets of gold he often spoke about. Not even because he has seen our saviour's face. We grieve because we are left behind. But, we will meet again as my father used to say "We'll meet just above the tree tops" You are in our thoughts and prayers. With love Sherry & Gary Stafford and Family.

Dear Sister Black
I wrote here earlier and said that my Mother had passed in July, but I didnt leave who I was.
This is Sharon Tracy (Valenzona)
I am sorry about this.

Sister Black and family,
We are saddened to read of the passing on of such a great, gentle, patient, and loving man of God. We attended West 58th Street years ago and was so honored to have met you and all your church family. Please know that we are praying for you and will continue to do so in the days to come. He will be missed by so many. The Lord took up one of His Jewels, that is for sure!!!!
Love,
Tom and Georganne Rinehart

DEAR SISTER BACK AND FAMILY, I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT BROTHER BLACK. I KNOW IT IS NOT EASY BUT YOU HAVE THE JOY IN KNOWING HE MADE IT HOME.
