Under God's loving hand.

I would like to offer my condolences to Roosevelt's family at this sad time in their lives. Roosevelt was a good neighbor who was ready to help his neighbors whenever they needed him. He will be dearly missed.

During the short time I've known Bro. Payne, one thing I became certain of....he loved the Lord. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to know and fellowship with him. He loved talking about the Bible and I loved talking about the Bible with him. Twenty First Street Church of God became very fond of this brother and we will miss him dearly. Rest in peace.

To The Payne Family:
It saddens me to read of the passing of a dear friend whom I have known for 15-20 years. Rooselvelt was the type of person who was always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to those in need. He had that way of making sure you were ok before he was. Rooselvelt always put others first. As the years went by somehow we lost touch, but never forgotten eachother. When we did run into eachother about 3 yrs ago, he greeted me with that great smile...
