Dear Ms. Anna Lee and Family,
In Proverbs 13:22, it states that A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Mr. Herbert, not just a good man, but a good Christian gentleman has left an inheritance of his love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May you and the family find peace in the fact that Mr. Herbert lived a godly life, one that he did not mind sharing. I remember his testimony about when God touched him on a Sunday morning and a light was shone down on him. He never waivered in his Christian walk. Thank God for Mr. Herbert and for the inheritance he left.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my long time faithful and devoted deacon Wheat. He was truly a fine example of a saint. I remember him from when I was a little girl coming to church on sunday mornings and to this day he was still the same. Treating everyone the same with a big smile on his face, greeting you at the church doors to say goodmorning. I know he is in a better place and will definetly be the angel sitting in the front row every sunday. May he rest in peace and his family rejoice in him going home.
