Vanessa/Clay and the Tillman Family: I was saddened to hear of the passing of your father. I've been in your shoes. All I can say is that God doesn't make any mistakes. Your father is dancing Heaven up and he is looking at you to live the life he preached about. We all want to see one another in Glory. Keep him on your tounge and he will always be close. Don't bury his life and those special memories, talk him up. It makes it easier and it feels like he's right there beside you. We as a family enjoyed the many holiday dinners we shared together with your dad and mom. He will be missed but not forgotten. Hold on. Just Hold on. The best is yet to come. Jesus himself. Praise God. May He carry you when you can't carry yourself. May the peace and comfort of the Lord rest with you always.
Love your sis,
Staci

A Great man of God-During the years when he was my Pastor-we sang in the(R.E. Tillman Inspirational Choir) was indeed a blessing- we looked at Rev. Tillman as a father figure- a great deal of respect for him and Mrs. Tillman will forever be in my heart.
Rev. Tillman was a "inspiration" to me during my life changing transition in God back in 1999.
To God Be the Glory-
