My prayers are with your family at this time. Ben was a loving person who cared very much about people. I remember the last time I saw him he told me how good it was to see me and what was so good about it I know he meant it from his heart. -Patricia Pendergrass (Spartanburg, SC)

Rev. Guy pastored a small congregation in the town of Whitmire in the late 90's. We fondly recall his gentle spirit and his heart of compassion. Praying for George, David, Nicholas and Councilwoman Mary. God is able to heal the wounded hearts of the entire family.
