What a beautiful loving person
April 13, 2018
My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family of Sis. Loraine Boyd...I was saddened to hear about Sis. Boyd she was a beautiful and kind spirited woman who uplifted my spirits many of times...the memories of her beautiful voice will always remain in my heart. As a member of St. Paul M.B.C. often Sis. Boyd would sing her Signature Song "Order my Steps in your Word" years ago as a new member I wanted the Lord to Guide my steps in the right directions so when she would sing tears would fill to my eyes & heart knowing that the Lord did this for me...many times I would try to find the song online and experience the same feelings I felt when she would sing but what I found is that NO ONE, NO GOSPEL GROUP compared to her she was the best. So tonight I will play this song in remembrance of a beautiful, beautiful woman that helped guide my steps in the right direction with the help of her song through the Lord. Thank you Sis. Boyd
I will always remember you with Love.
