For the John Rivers Family Branch: A Poem For Odell and Barbara Rivers by Rosalyn Henley (niece)

He who is glorious says, "I've seen you all grow up and grow old, your wrinkles enfolding grace
Anger and injury a time or two, then numbness freezing a brown face
Crash your hurtful prayers against Me, I'll push back your solar hair
Your created sunburn countenance, beauteous in innocent stare.
All for Christ, no blemish upon you for reflecting me...

Lady Cheryl Evans and the Rivers Family, We send our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved father. Fond memories will forever be in your hearts.

First Lady Cheryl Evans ,please know that our prayers are with you and your family at this time. Keep trusting God and He will give you the strength and comfort that only he can give. Remember Ecclesiastes 3:11, Your parents have entered their new season! Deacon Evelena Carter, FBCLP

I hope that the Lord comfort the family and provide peace to get through the days ahead. My deepest condolences.

First Lady Evans and the Rivers Family,
When the heart is grieving God comes near to bring His comfort, to catch every tear. God says in Isaiah 46:4 that He will be your God through all your lifetime, I made you and I will care for you. Know that God will hold you close and gently, carry you through. My husband and I are praying for you and your family. Minister Diane Robinson
