Trailblazer, So sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. We air your radio program on WHVN in Charlotte. I enjoyed interviewing you for our radio audience about a year ago. You and I both know Joyce is with Jesus now. May God bless you as you continue to preach the gospel.

I'm not sure how to find the words to express what's on my heart. It's bittersweet.
Mama Pen held such s special place in so many people's hearts. Yet I know our grief cannot compare to what you all are going through at this time.
To call her precious is the one of so many words that run through my mind. She was s true jewel. Not because she was our Pastors wife, because of her. She was an amazing woman. She walked before us in a way that made us want to know her...
