It was a pleasure to meet Earlene and Richard almost twenty years ago when I met them at BWI airport at the request of Richard, the husband of her sister Bobbie. Our prayer is that God will bless your memories of Earlene and grant you peace.

Had the pleasure of working with Earlene and Richard at Whitehaven Baptist Church for several years. She was such a wonderful woman and beautiful sister in the Lord! I cherished our friendship and weekly talks. She had much wisdom and love to give. I thank the Lord for the time we had together as friends and will always smile when I think of her...What a blessing. My prayers are with the family, and joy also as I know you will meet again someday...
