Shirley N. Green Porter

Dear Rev. Porter, and family. I recently heard the news of the passing of our beloved Sis. Shirley Porter. Truly a lady of God and class. Someone I have admired my entire adult life. What a blessing she was. My prayers are with you and your entire family during this difficult time. Yvonne Little, Greensboro, NC

Finding out the passing of Mrs.Porter has truly devastated and sadden me to hear.

Curtis remembering eating dinner on Sundays after Service in your home and your Mother, my Mother sitting and talking and laughing at us. She was a beautiful person inside and out.They don't come any better.
No need to worry for Mrs.Porter is in a place made by God.
God bless each and everyone of you.

To Rev. Porter, Lisa, Lance, & Curtis.
Sis. Porter was my favorite Sunday School teacher and one of the most beautiful women in the body of Christ. Shared many wonderful times with all of you growing up, singing in the youth choir and going to Sunday School. I am a pastor now in West Orange and thank God for St Johns & The Church of God in Christ! Love and blessings to you all!

Pastor Porter, Curtis, Lance, Lisa and entire family.
I believe the beauty is in going home of a child of the King. I remember Mrs. Porter dearly as my Sunday school teacher. Mrs. Porter gave us her life experience to the class and made sure we knew that you must be born again. Say what you want, she knew how to tip in those 3 inch heels and made it look easy. She was saved and filled and still was a fox.
Curtis you have her smile so smile often. Lance you have her laughter so keep...

To the Porter Family,

I have the fondest memories of Mrs. Porter and held her in the highest regard. God will give you what you need during this time and be all you need to go on from here.

With love,

Nicole Young Clarke
