Mrs. Kearse, Lisa, Linda, Gary, and Andre,
The prayers of Margaret Holly and Sinclair Holly go out to you and Rev. Kearse. This wonderful man of God was my Godfather as well as my mother and father's closest friend. Rev. Kearse was an inspiration to me throughout the years. Now that this soldier of Christ has finished his work here on earth we most surely know he is at home with the LORD. God Bless,

I am shocked and saddend with grief when I read about Jimmy's passing. He preached my mother's (Clara) funeral they grew up together in Bessemer City,NC and they were the best of friends. Logan was my godfather. My ties to this family are everlasting. I am just very very sad at this news. I am trying to find the church and I cannot seem to locate it, would someone please please contact me, so that I can be there for his homegoing services. My prayers and love are always with you .

To the Kearse family: It has been years since I have seen you all. Linda, my heart goes out to you and the family. I know that God will hold you in his arms and see you all through this. We met when we lived in Burke, Va. Linda knew me then as Vivian Bates. I will keep you and the family in my prayers. May God bless and keep you all safe in his care.
