Brenda, Angie, and Mike: I know you understand that if Jesus tarry, we will all transition from this old world one day! We know this world is not our home. Praise the Lord - another saint has made it!!!!!!
Praying for God's supernatural strength to saturate you.

To the family, Giving honor to God and truly thankful for Mother Buckins and her exemplary life. I will remember the many joyful church services that we as a family of Elder Willie and Mother Rosa Brinson attended with the Buckins family. We were blessed to hear the true word of God during praise and worship. We enjoyed Mother Buckins teachings as well as the beautiful music on guitar from Samuel and my father. Today we stand together, knowing this day was ordained. Mother Buckins has joined Elder Brinson and Mother Brinson in the prescence of The Most High with all the other saints and "WHAT A REVIVAL THERE IS NOW." Be blessed love you all The Bolden Family
