Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I will never forget that beautiful smile. Even though we would see each other in Panama City, she would always see me first at out International COGIC convention. She would always spot me first and then came the hug. "Beautiful are the feet of those who carry this gospel". I (brother Tony) will never forget!

I met Jennifer when I worked at Sam's Club. She always come through my line because we both had the same name. Mines was spelled Jenifer. She was always smiling. But when she saw me she always say 'her name is Jennifer' (then point to herself) my name is Jennifer'. RIL Sweet Lady. I know you are singing and smiling in Heaven! Family and friends she was and always a blessing to me. Sending prayers love and hugs to everyone!

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
