Thomas & Family,

Heaven must be rejoicing as another son has come home! So many times I have heard him sing "The Last Mile of the Way" -- now he too has seen the Great King in all His beauty. I was unable to attend the funeral services, but please know that my thoughts were with you. Rev. White was truly a great man, and shall be greatly missed down here. Take care, and trust your futures to a loving God who never errors.



In Sympathy,

Eunice (Wyatt) Jones

Sister White and Family,

I was indeed sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. White. He was always a great supporter of me in the ministry in my early years, and one can not forget those that encouraged them along life's way. All though I could not be with you physically during this time, I pray that God has been God.

Dr. White could talk about heaven in such a way that it made you want to go right then. He can now say as Andrew and Nathaniel, "I have seen the Lord." Also as Job declared, "Of all of my appointed times, I will wait until my changes come". So has Dr. White waited patiently and gently upon the Lord. May God ever richly bless you.

To the White Family,



On the "Wings of Death" the "Soul takes Flight" Into the land where "There is no Night" For those who believe what the Saviour said, Will rise in glory though they be dead... So death comes to us just to "Open The Door" To the Kingdom of God and Life Evermore.

Althoug your love one will be truly missed, he is Rejoicing and Shouting in Heaven right now.

I will continue to uplift you in prayer.



Love always,

To the White Family:



We were saddened to hear the lost of your loved one. Rev. White was associated with my family (the Johnson’s of Caroline County)for many years and we will truly miss his presence and his singing with the Silvertones. He always had a kind word to say and always kept a smile on his face. May God continue to keep you all strong and you are blessed to have such wonderful memories of the times you shared together. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1
