On the anniversary of my pastors home going I remember a man who renewed my faith in God. Gave me understanding of the Bible and a man who was always there for you through good and bad times. For me hearing the word from someone else just isn't the same. I miss you Greg. My eternal love goes out to his family.

My Dear Ms. Evalena, Mel, and Family,

While it's been 5 yrs, I know it feel as if only a day that Pastor Tyson took his rest in the Lord. I still hold him close in my heart and memory as I truly was blessed to have sat under his teaching, preaching and praying at New Jerusalem. My love and prayers continue to flow for you all, family.

To the Tyson family, it was a pleasure to serve with Pastor Tyson as a deacon and deaconess as well as his chairman. It was special for me because we were the same age and represented two young men on fire for GOD. I have the upmost respect for the work he did in the community. We will see you again. I imagine you are singing your song in the Heavenly Choir.

To Melanie,I can only imagine some people can say but I know what you going through because I have worn the same shoes in the year of 2004.Only 34 and my children were 10 and 7.My heart goes out to you and truly you have some bad and some good days but as a woman of God I don't have to tell you that God keeps you and your children.I will continue to pray for you and most that your children will adjust.Mine struggle for years and still have their days at the age of 21 and 18 but God keeps us strong.Pastor Tyson was a special person in my life,he was so down to earth that he made me and my family feel that we could be ourselves and can bring the word.One of my heart breaks was having to leave and come back to Va.truly missed my church always felt that is where we belong.When I came back to the baptism of my grandchild it was good to see you all,not know it was going to be my last conversation.When I got the the word I was in church and tears just flowed down my face.He will truly be missed.Thanks for being a part of our lives.Take care.

My Dear Mel,

"Take It To The Lord"

I know you're going through a tough time right now.
But part of the beauty of being a believer is that we serve a "GOD" Who is mightier than anything we may come up against in life.
Don't fight it alone; take it to the Lord.
And Jesus looking upon them saith,
With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27
My Love and Prayers are with you and the Family.

To Melanie, Jada, & Greg Jr...When the phone calls stop, the visitation ends, and Pastor Tyson is laid to rest, just remember God is still with you. He said in His word " I will never leave you nor forsake you." And God won't bcause He's a man that will never lie. Proverb 3:5-6 is my favorite verse Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thine ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Even when you don't understand TRUST GOD!!!...Love you my sister in Christ Jesus

Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

How do you say goodbye to a friend of nearly thirty (30) years. You cry, you question why? Then you smile as you remember all of the fun memories that you shared. Greg and I went fishing together, took trips to Atlanta together and even rode motorcycles together. I can remember Greg cutting my hair in his mom's garage on several occasions in 1986. As we grew older and got married to our beautiful wives, (Melanie & Lisa) our families would share meals together and visit each other's homes. Those were fun memories that will never be forgotten. As I sit here with tears running down my face, I thank God for such a wonderful person to be a part of my life. My heart is extremely heavy right now, however I see his smiling face and I know he is in a better place. Rest in Peace my friend! Melanie, Jada, and Little Greg, we love you!

Just wanted you to know you are in my prayers and coach tyson will always be in my heart with his constant concern for his players as they evolved as boys ll men.I remember the Atlanta (falcons) trip with the team .I didn't want to take my blanket on the bus coach took it from my gmom and told me I would need it later,and I did. Just recently during bball season he stood at the door to watch as we left the gym .He look at me,then my dad and then my gmom and proceeded to tell me dont ever let him see me without a jacket and hoodie while practicing and playing bball and that I will appreciate what he said as I got older. Remembering a great man(father) a good coach (motivator-chat leader) and pastor.
