This man was a saving grace. I'm deeply saddened by his untimley departure. We had so many plans! He was more than just a client of mine, we had a genuine connection. It seems like yesterday that I was calling him in the hospital to see how his surgery went. My heart grew heavy upon receiving the news that he had passed. He will be greatly missed not only by me but by everyone he touched. My heart goes out to his family and his loved ones. He will be greatly missed...

Words can not express how i feel with the loss of my Pastor Patrick Kamara. I learned so many things from him. He will be missed more than words can say. He was not only a Pastor but a friend someone who always had a listening ear and was always there to give you direction in your walk with the Lord. I am praying for his wife as well as his children and church family that God would comfort our hearts.
