Felix was a great blessing to so many. Few on earth live such a dedicated life to the Lord, and even when MS changed his ministry, his newsletters were so encouraging and challenging. I truly will miss them and miss him. I am so grateful he was able to work with Scott to continue the Wonderfull Weekend Ministry. May God cover you with His comfort and encourage you knowing Felix is rejoicing in His presence. Great love to Patsy and the rest of the family!

Dear Eloise and Family,
I am with the family in spirit.

times when feelings are too deep to be expressed,but at this sad time
may it bring you some peace and comfort to know that caring thoughts are with you every day.
I love you and may God continue to bless you.

To the family,
I worked with Felix at Sherwin Williams on North Ave. He was very kind to me and I could tell that he was someone special. I always wanted to come into some money and partner up with Felix,s church to help the community. I am still poor. I am sure that he touched many lives and will be missed. I will always remember him when I pass that little church on Huff rd.

To The Snipes Family
Our deepest sympathy reaches out to you and your family during your trying times. We will miss his smiles, laughter, jokes and most of all his love. He was not only a friend but like family. He was a great role model to look up to and we all respected and appreciated him for that. He has fought a good fight down here on earth and we are proud to say we hear God greeting him at the gates of heaven saying "Well done my good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:21. Welcome home son. We love you and will miss you dearly.

To the Snipes family, our deepest sympathies during your time of loss, please know that we are here for you.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for absence from the body, creates presence before Christ. And we know that Saints don't die, they just sleep away in the Lord!
