My message comes after nine years your passing. You truly impacted by life Garfield. Your truth and zeal for Jehovah was something I hadn't witnessed before. And soon enough, I met many others like you. Thanks to you and Beulah for your kindness and teaching. I'll always love and miss you both. Your friend Rick
