So sad to hear this but I have been friends with Dudley over forty years and if I know two things about this wonderful man is he loved his wife, kids and the Lord. I know you will be missed my dear friend.

We will always cherish the fond memories of Rev. Higgins. It has been a pleasure knowing such a gentle, kind spirit that many men should emulate. Thank you for being an example to us through childhood and over the years. We will not say "goodbye", just "good night".(The family of Foster and Bettye Wheeler~)--Cheryle Wheeler-Johnson--Tye, Tyler and Tchelin Johnson--Rick L. Wheeler

My sincere condolences to the family of Rev. Dudley Higgins. I will miss him sitting on the front row. He was a great encourager of the Ushers Ministry. He would always tell us that we do a great job, and how important our job is to the church service. My prayer is that the family will stand on the promises of Christ.....He will never leave us or forsake us in our time of need or sorrow. His mercies are new every morning, and He is faithful...just stand on His promises.
