So sorry for your loss
I Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds; to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Peace & Love in Jesus Name Your cousin, Blanche Jones
I served as Pastor on the same District with Dr. Johnson for six years. He became a wonderful friend. A friendship I have always cherished. I found him to be a genuine Christian brother and a man who loved people and wanted the best for everyone. My condolences go out to Shirley, his family, and the great church he led. Rev. J E Mitchell
