We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Deacon White. I especially knew his wife, Mrs. White. I learned from her and community members what a great Man of God he was. He was a special soldier in the army of the Lord who strove for the high calling in Christ Jesus. We miss and mourn our deacons of honor, character, and the calling to do God's will. We express sympathy to Corey and all the family.

So sorry to learn if Mr. White's passing. He was a good friend of my dad's (Homer H McGill). He was a nice, kind man. I'm going to miss seeing him sitting on the porch in his rocking chair. I didn't see him this summer, I think maybe once at the first of summer. I miss seeing him, and blowing my horn as I pass by. May he rest in heavenly peace. I'm praying for his family and friends during this difficult time.

To my Uncle John F White, I want to thank you for being a positive role model in my earlier youth. A man of wisdom and guidance. A man that truly believed in God and Prayer. You come from a different cut of cloth, and I respect that from you and your brothers and sisters. That whole family was Grounded in Christ. I love you. Take your Rest and we shall see you again.
