Sister Brenda and Family, Our Prayers are with you during this time of reflection, celebration, and grief. As the Bible says we do grieve but not as those who have no hope (1 Thess 4:13-14). My Husband loved Pastor Higgs and always reflects on the impact that Pastor Higgs made in his life. I loved Pastor Higgs from the moment that I met him because of the tender love and concern he extended towards me when I moved here to be with my husband. Pastor Higgs will always have a special place in our hearts. Please be comforted in knowing that Pastor Higgs looked forward to being with the Lord. As he often said "This may be my last day...." and began to praise the Lord with all that he had!
Love, Prayers, and Hugs
Rev. and Mrs. Michael W. Johnson

To Brenda and family, I thank GOD for Rev. Higgs. He was my first pastor in 2/1982 when I was converted. He loved to praise the Lord and dance and he was an inspiration.
