To the family of Bishop A. J. Valentine. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. He is healed. He is with His Father in heaven. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Bishop was a Good man who served a Great God! He taught us well and we have only to live our lives to give him honor. Honor him in our service and commitment to the Lord. I pray God's strength be with His widow, Beverley, his daughter, Vanessa, his son, Timothy. God is good and He is merciful. Praying for you all.

One day at a time, Lord Jesus is all I'm asking of you. Help me today ..Help me to take one day at a time.

God bless.

To the Valentine Family from Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Mitchell. We were saddened to hear of the passing of Bishop Valentine. I hate death because it is such a great separator. It makes orphans, widows, and widowers of us. But thanks, be unto God as we grieve, it is not like the world. For you shall see him again one day! Absent from this body present with the Lord! No more pains or sufferingsoh Hallelujah. We love the Lord because he does all things well. Truly, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. To the family hold each other close and love much. As I close our condolences, I hear 2 Timothy 4:6-8 echoing in my spiritFor I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. May the God of all comforts continually keep the entire Valentine family

Lady Valentine, and family of my brother in Christ, Bishop A.J. Valentine. Bishop will be sadly missed by all that knew him. It is my prayer that you will feel the arms of Jesus as he holds and comforts each one of you. It is a promise that we will see him again, but until that time, keep your hearts stayed on Jesus. Know that I am available to you. Oh! How he loved Jesus, because He first loved him. I send love to my extended family.

Bishop Andrew J. Valentine was a friend of mine. I will never forget the fact that he took hold of the call on my life and encouraged me to embrace it. he always made himself available to me when I needed advice on how to operate within the walls of my call and the ministry. My heart was overwhelmed to hear of his passing. I ask the Lord to give me words to encourage the family....
I keep hearing the Lord say
WHEN GIANTS FALL A SLEEP....
Yes to me and my family, Pastor V....was a true GIANT. Not many of those left these days. We came to love him and Sis. Valentine very much. Eld. Valentine taught by precept and example. And as I bow on humble submission to the will of God, Sis.Valentine Vanessa and Tim please know that we will forever give thanks to God and to the 3 of you for sharing your husband and father with the masses. Some folks do die indeed...But GIANTS only fall asleep.

Love and praying for your strength....Evangelist Stefanii Berry Singleton
