May my condolences bring your family consolation and peaceduring this painful time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

You didn't pave the way Black Americans to compete in pageants. You inspired everyone, race aside, to compete in bodybuilding. You were amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your legacy for African Americans will live on.

Paved the way for African Americans to compete in pagents.

Thoughts and prayers of comfort to the family of Mr. Chris Dickerson at this difficult time. My condolences.
