To Sister Braswell and family, we were saddened to hear the passing of Bishop Braswell. He and my father the late Deacon Bobby Cooper were great friends that loved the Lord and began a friendship at Texifi in Rocky Mount many years ago.

Bishop my heart is deeply saddened. I did not know God called you home. I know I have not been in contact, but you were always an important part of my life. You were like a dad to me when me and my children relocated to Rocky Mount. The love you showed us was unsurmountable. I have regrets of not reaching out to you more and especially not being able to say goodbye. I love you Bishop and you will always remain in my heart. Rest in heaven. God has his faithful servant with him.

i will miss you my friend. Rev CHERRY

Thinking of you today...Losing someone we care about is never easy, and it's natural to experience a range of emotions and feelings of grief. Remember that it's important to allow yourself to mourn and heal at your pace. Surround yourself to mourn and heal at your own pace. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family members who can provide comfort and understanding. In honoring the memory of you loved one, cherish the moments and the impact they had on your life. Celebrate their life and find solace in the shared memories and that love that will forever remain. My thoughts are with you and your family. Love Nikia Payne-Daudu
