Perry and I officiated together at Tim Botts and Fawn Carter Botts' wedding in 1990. I knew of his ministry for many years and had heard good reports about him. It's good to know the truth of John 14, especially 1-6 and 27. May God continue to provide His grace and strength to meet the coming days. We will be praying for you.

I thank the Lord for a man that defined the word "pastor". He was a mentor, a caregiver, and a shepherd to his flock. Besides my father, no man had a greater influence on my childhood and my life.
