To a Great Man that I've known my entire life. It's hard to believe that his transition has taken place. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! To the Compton Family I love you all, and always will!!

The Comptons have been a part of my life for many, many, years. I was Church Secretary under the Administration of Rev. Compton and later he performed my marriage ceremony.
The Comptons are my family and I will truly miss Rev. Compton's wisdom. Much Love, Deborah Sullivan
