Mama Londa has gained her wings. She was such a wonderful woman and did everything unto the Lord. Her zeal and fire for the kingdom was infectious. She carried the spirit of revival with tenacity. She took me under her wing as a new mother, taught me how to cover, protect and war for my children. She showed me maternal love, hospitality, embraced us and was my confidant through pain. She's engraved in our hearts. Her light shines forever. My deepest condolences to her three children.

Londa, was one of the great people of faith I had ever got to meet. Her presence carried many to the throne or God . Sending love to her three children and her family.

When I had no place to live Londa took me in her home. She fed me and showed me godly hospitality. I will never forget how the love of God our Father was demonstrated through Londa. Londa was a prayer warrior, worshiper, faith spoken person, wise in speech and deeds according to the Word of God, led by the Holy Spirit and on fire. Several times I have witnessed the move of the Lord through Londa. Just to have been part of Lon's life for which the Lord allowed is really words I can't express how much I am thankful to have met such a child of God. God is GOOD and ALL the time GOD IS GOOD. Hey T.M. and E.C. remembered how we and Londa use to pray for days at her apartment while taking Holy Communion and the next day we still had to go to school (lol). R and J y'all probably remembered those prayer days; however, y'all were very young (lol). D. remember how you join us and how you were Londa's spiritual daughter. There are so much I could say but the space will not allow it. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit comfort your hearts and keep your minds in Christ Jesus in Jesus name Amen!

Dear children of Queen Londa. Your Mom wore her crown with style and especially grace. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I’ve known her since she was a lil queen at Bienville. Her radiant smile has always reigned down on us and we were so happy to be in its glow. She will be watching over you and your children and their child now. I wish her to rest peacefully and for you to find peace in her rest.
