To Mother Baltimore and the entire PCBC family--please accept as I extend my deepest condolences.

Comfort comes in knowing that "TJ" was a great man with an awesome vision for serving the Lord. With that in mind, we can be confident that he is now resting in the arms of the Almighty for fulfilling his duty as a good and faithful servant for a job --WELL DONE.

His B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L smile and sense of humor will truly be missed.

GOD BLESS ALL,

Rev. Baltimore was a very special person who truly touched my life from the first time I attended TPCBC which was located at Kennedy High School. He spread happiness everywhere he went and left everyone he met feeling a little better than they did before. He was a pleasure to be around and an inspiration to all.
May God comfort TJ's family with his love and may the strength of their belief in him help guide them though this difficult time.

May God continue to bless Peoples Community church family and the entire Baltimore family. The feeling of belonging was felt by me each time I was fortunate enough to visit the church and the home of "TJ" with my cousin Alonzo Vereen. Peoples loss is heavens gain.

During my visits to Maryland, I've always received a warm welcome from Rev. T. J. Baltimore, Sr. It was truly an honor to commune with him, and a joy discussing Biblical topics, as well as our church achievements. While on a trip to Africa, I had the pleasure of meeting his mother, and my heart was overwhelmed. We at Lighthouse Christian Ministries would like to send our condolences to the Baltimore family, friends, & loved ones. Look up and be encouraged!

With Love,

We thank God for leading us to The People's Community Baptist Church. Our friendship with our beloved Pastor began when the church met at Kennedy High School. To God be the glory for Pastor's vision, his guidance, his love, and his friendship. We miss him, but know that he is with the Lord. We remain committed to fulfilling his vision for the church and for our community. We will continue to keep the Baltimore and People's families in our prayers.

Until we meet again,

My family were in search of a church to call home for several years. We visited myriad churches of various faiths. The moment that we walked in to Peoples, we KNEW we were home! The sanctuary had a warm, cozy feeling to it; much like a loving coccoon. Pastor T.J. Baltimore had a lot to do with that feeling. We pray that his vision will continue to dominate the direction of Peoples. God bless the Baltimore family in their time of sorrow. God bless Peoples. And God bless the soul of Pastor Baltimore. Our loss is Heaven's gain, for sure!

To Rev. Baltimore, in Angelic Configuration, and the Baltimore Family in celebration, let us take note of this triumph over pain and death. This is to my friend and Pastor remembered in love. From Kennedy to eternity, he has be a joy to know and love. I miss him more than words can say. He will always be in my heart for the love he showed to my children, the children of the church, for the hugs he gave, for believing in me, and for showing love to my mother. We have been blessed beyond measure to have known him.

From my cousin Leroy, who he loved, and who loved to send messages of hope to him, to my other relatives, we say REST well. You deserve it.

The Benjamin Family loves you still.

To the Baltimore family, and to the PCBC family, my prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. I have always enjoyed worshiping with you when visiting friends in the D.C./Maryland area.

To My Senior Deacon Phil Baltimore and the entire Baltimore Family: Please know that Pastor Baltimore had a lasting positive effect on me and my family. I recall when my daughter wanted to be baptized at age 7 or 8. We were not sure she understood the full significance, but after Pastor counseled with her, he assured us that this was in God's plan. It is said that without a vision, the people perish. Pastor certainly has a dynamac vision. We are all blessed to be a part of his vision. It is my prayer and hope that we will all press on to actualize his vision and take it to even higher heights. Thanks to God, you, and Pastor for giving unselfishly so much to mankind.

He, and along with the TPCBChurch, help mold me and many others for the job of following the lord and becoming wonderful young men and women.

TJ, You have been such a true friend to me. You help my sons and I get thru alot of difficult times. Iwill truly miss you, but I know you are truly in a better place, and don't have to suffer anymore. It won't be the same sitting in church and looking up and seeing your wonderful smile,even thru all your pain. Words can not express how deeply you will be missed, not just at TPCBC, but Montgomery Co and the whole Metropolitan area. I love you and miss you and I hope I'll be fortunate enough to see you again. My prayers are with The entire Baltimore Family and my former People's Family and my Simeon family. I'll always be a member, even if I don't reside in Maryland anymore. Sincerely, Denise Salvi Curry

To the Baltimore family:

You have been, and will continue to be in my prayers. Hold on to God and to each other as you weather this difficult storm.

Reverend Baltimore always had a knack for knowing when people were in need of an extra special word or a heart felt laugh. He shared his incredible gifts with all of us in such an unselfish way. One day, he let me know that he was concerned about me and wanted to talk about how I was doing. I didn't even know that he was aware I was going through difficult times. He also encouraged me to teach Bible study when I had doubts as to whether I was ready to step forward. His love was limitless. I will always remember his warm heart and that dazzling smile that he gave so readily.

I love you, and I shall see you again one day.

While the tears may fall now because of your love for Rev. TJ, we can also rejoice in the fact that Rev. Baltimore has now received his ultimate reward. He shall have no more pain and suffering. Hallelujah! We at TPCBC will be in prayer with you and for you as we all mourn and celebrate a great man of God!

God Bless You!

Pastor lend me to Christ from the days of Kennedy High School. He baptized me and my children. I will never forget how a comfort he was when my mother passed, and I will never forget how he officiated at her homegoing service.

I sat down to write down this small note, but find myself without words. Reverend Baltimore was a strong and bold life force that breathed energy and love into everyone he touched. It was by chance that I entered into TPCBC but it was truly by his greatness and Love for our Lord and Savior and his entire family (immediate and congregation) that has kept me here. When at TPCBC I have always felt welcome, missed when I'm not there, and blessed at all times. Too few words to say all the ways that he has touched my life. Knowing that he is amongst the angels and our Father is comforting. Knowing that, I realize that he will always be with all of us. He was and will always be so loved.

To the Baltimore family, I will pray for and with you. You know better than all of us what a great legacy he has left us all. We love you as we loved him and share in your great loss. May you find comfort in the greatest comforter of them all.

My Dear Beloved Pastor,

You have physically left us, but your wonderful loving spirit will be with me and my family for as long as we live. We would not have been able to get through our most difficult time, had you not been there to guide us. Now you are with my angel (LaShaun) and all other angels and I just know that heaven is rejoicing. I love you pastor and always will, I am such a better person having had you in my life. Rest well my special angel, we all love you, but God loved you best.

To The Baltimore Family,

Rev. Baltimore touched so many lives in such a special way. I will never forget the love and support he showed my family in the passing of my brother in September 1999. He drove 4 hours to Virgina Beach to support me and my family on the day of the services. My mother and father have never forgotten this act of kindness. He did this for me, but I know he did this as much as he could for all his congregation. I've never experienced a relationship with a pastor who I also considered my friend in such a personal way. He made everyone he came in contact with feel special which exemplied the love of God.

Pastor Baltimore's transition is a beautiful thing. I will miss him unbelievably, but we know that when we are absent from the body, we are present with the Lord. That is something to shout about and a source of comfort!!!

My family and I loved him dearly.

E. D. Arrington

I only met Rev. Baltimore recently and did not have the priviledge of seeing him again. However that one encounter led me to know that I was experiencing a moment that was of great worth.

His courage and deep religious conviction were evident. He fed my spirit. My life was greatly enhanced by a moment that was all too brief.

I comend the family to a GOD who has promised never to leave you alone.He is also able to keep you from falling. Look to HIM and be of good cheer.

This is the time when everyone will be there and everything seems to standstill,but yet the day is gone. How is that? I don't know, but the recent lost of my Mom, helps me to be right were you guys are now. It's a rough place to be,but know that with each day it will get a little better. God has a plan and he knows just how much we can bear. T.J. or Pastor BMore as I called him was called home because if we just look around us we will see that he did what God called him to do. His job was completed,it was time for the eternal rest. He was the good and faithful servant. May the joy and the rememberance of his love and his kindness be with each of you until you meet again.

Mother Baltimore and the Baltimore Family it is my prayer that God will keep his arms wrapped around each of you and bring you peace during this time of sorrow.

My son Kristen was drawn to TPCBC because it was clear that it was a Church that understood that the success of the Church as a place of teaching, understanding and comfort rested with its ability to inspire and educate the next generation of enlightened believers in the word of God.

It is my hope and prayer that as a Christian family TPCBC will continue to enhance and expand on the Pastor's vision. May we continue to grow in our Christian knowledge, walk and in our Christian love. May we stand strong in our faith and trust God for our future.

You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Pastor's legacy is simple...

To the Baltimore Family and TPCBC:

I will always remember hearing Pastor Baltimore say to my daughter and I in his study the Sunday we returned to the church, "MY BABIES HAVE COME HOME." That was just like Pastor, he loved his members and knew each one. He was my Pastor and I will never forget everything he did for me. I will miss talking with him, seeing his smile and singing that song he loved to hear, "I Love the Lord." Pastor Baltimore loved the Lord and TPCBC, and we love him.

I am deeply saddened with the loss of our beloved Pastor Baltimore. I will miss him so. He touched my heart and made me smile. He noticed me one day in a crowed church and gave me a complement. I often remember that encounter as a sign from God. Pastor Baltimore touched my spirit. For that I am eternally grateful. I have a closer personal relationship with God because of his teachihgs and TPCBC. I want to cry because I am so sadden with his lost. However I know that the angels in heaven are rejoicing at his coming and he is happy. God plucked this rare and precious flower because it was time. I take comfort in knowing that God has Pastor's back and he can take a good rest. To the family: remain faithful and mourn his loss. Remember Pastor Baltimore will forever be in our hearts and mind. You have my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences. May God continue to keep you and bless you.

"Lo, I go to prepare a place for you, so that where I am ye may be also. In my father's house there are many mansions, if it were not so, I would not tell you."

Dear Baltimore family: I know at this time words of comfort are not enough to sooth your sorrowful hearts. However, take comfort in knowing that TJ was a living testimony to all of us who experience pain and disappointment in life and still rejoice in the lord. His legacy at People's lives on as a reminder to all of us what God can do in our lives if we just have the faith of a mustard seed and continue to be led by the holy spirit.

As the scripture said, he has gone to prepare a place for you so that where he is you will be also.

You have my deepest sympathy and continued faith filled prayers!

To The Family of Reverend Thomas J. Baltimore, Sr. - On behalf of our family in Gastonia, North Carolina, we extend our deepest sympathy to you during this time of sorrow. Know that Rev. Baltimore has fought a good fight, he finished his course and he kept the faith. Now he has gone home to receive his reward. He's now at the head of the line telling jokes and praising the Lord.

May God be with each of you in this time of sorrow and we pray that He will comfort you and strengthen your family.

To The Baltimore Family,

My family has known and loved Rev. Baltimore for at least the past 10 years. It was not quite long enough. Rev. Baltimore was a fun, loving, spiritual and powerful man both inside and outside of the church. He was the strength of the Black community. Our three sons looked forward to attending services on Sunday but, especially standing in line to greet and give Pastor a big ole hug. He baptized my entire family and christened all my nieces and nephews. He has touched so many lives and he will be truly missed.

My family and I cannot begin to understand the grief and loss that you are feeling right now. However, we do know that God is with you all -- wrapping his everloving arms around you to comfort you during this time. If we can be of any assistance to you, please call. May God remain with you forever.

To Mother Baltimore, the Baltimore Family and the Congregation of the Peoples Community Baptist Church,

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;

Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

To the large and loving family of Rev. Baltimore, both by blood and by faith, I share your love and loss. Having been a member of People's since the "Kennedy" era, I will always treasure the spiritual guidance our pastor provided. He truly set a high bar, leaving me in search of a church with the love and instruction of TPCBC when I left the Silver Spring area. Please share my comfort in knowing that Rev. Baltimore is now at his "victory party." Thanks, Rev, for everything. We love you...

Pastor Baltimore was always special to me, as I worked as the Membership Secretary at the church in 1993 before I moved to North Carolina. I know that he is in a better place and doesn't have to suffer any longer. May God bless the family during their time of grief, you have my condolences.

As He Rest

The night flows and the stars glisten in the sky

God comes and lays his arms around him

As he rest the angels harmonize and the royal purple carpet is laid

He struts his stuff as the light shines and heaven explodes

As he rest all is well, the flowers flourish

The twilight and the rhythmic movement of love flows through

As he lived and now rest, he illuminates the charm and flavor of the black man

Never falling under pressure - he's strong!

We love you Pastor TJ!!

To My Pastor:

TJ, I will surely miss you, my relocation to Florida never changed our friendship. You were an intricate part of the "Tulloch" family and we considered you as our own blood family. It was only 8 months ago that you comforted me and the family at the transition of our son Pobbi. Thank you again for handling everything as you always step in and assist and comfort us.

As you travel on I am sure you will see Pobbi and both spirits will be kindled again. I want you to know I am comforted that all is well with you for God has called you, you have done well for humanity.

I will always love you "T".

To My late Pastor and family:

While I knew you for a short time, you have brightened many a day, lifted up my spirited, provided comfort in times of trouble, helped my husband and daughter as well as myself to see that God is indeed the only one ultimately in control. I know you are in a better place looking down on us. Our flesh is just a body, our spirit is forever....

With Love to the family of Rev. T.J. Baltimore

To Mother Baltimore and Family: Pastor Baltimore was a giant. He touched so many lives in the church and within the community. I am deeply hurt by our loss. TJ was not only my pastor but a dear friend. My daughter Diamond loved her pastor. Every chance she got she would run up to him and ask about Roscoe (dog). We are going to miss the good times and the laughs we shared with him. He was a very humble,kind and loving man who loved being around people. His shoes can never be filled. His legacy will live on. May God Bless you and strengthen you during this time.

To The Baltimore family and The Peoples Church. I cannot be saddened by the celebration of life that will take place at his home going on Saturday. As far back as I can remember "Tommy" brought joy and laughter to all he knew. This never changed--he still did that as a minister and what wonderful joy he did bring to anyone who heard him speak. If you knew him you truley knew he was a man of God."Ms. Virginia, I know that although your heart may be heavy at this time that God will give that peace that only he can give and the joy of knowing that in that great gettin' up morning---in the sweet by and by we will all meet at that place, that special place where every day will be Sunday and sabbath shall have no end. May God be with all of you in this time of saddness.

We will always be grateful to him for welcoming us to this very special church, and for letting us know that in Christ, all are "somebody".

Pastor Baltimore,

You made my family feel right at home at Peoples Community Baptist Church. We felt your love, your devotion and your vision. My children cried when they heard you had gone "home". But we have your cat, "Missy", whom we feel you left us as symbol of your sweet spirit. We feel honored to have been loved by you.
