It is truly difficult to find the words to express the sadness we feel for the loss of our brother in Christ, Lester Best, Jr. We were just having great fellowship with one another and it is surreal to think that the days ahead the energy of Lester will not be there. He was an instrumental part of our ministry and he will truly be missed. This has been a shock to us all but we know that God is our refuge and strength and we pray that you and the Best Family find comfort in the presence and love of God during this time. We love you and we send our heartfelt condolences to you and the family. ~Pastor Ronnie Liggins, Jr. and the Light of Life Salvation Ministries Family – Greensboro, NC

To Cathy and Family, Please know that you all are in our prayers. May the Spirit of the Living GOD comfort you in ways that only HE can. Our hearts are aching, and our minds are whirling. Yet, we trust in GOD who knows all things, and faithfully hold on to His promises. "...I am with you until the end." Many years ago Thomas Moore penned these words. "Come ye disconsolate, wherever ye languish; Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." Much Love, Reginald and Beverly Kinsey
