My daddy. Bishop flowers has been a father to me for over 40yrs. I will miss him dearly. Praying for the family.
I'm pretty sure this was the lovely gentleman that mowed my lawn over 20 years ago when my husband was deployed over 20 years ago. He was the kindest, most gentle soul. He mowed down my 18" weeds and did it with grace, never expecting a thing. I was and am still touched by his s kindness.
During my early years as a young Marine stationed at Cherry Point, MCAS, I had the pleasure of meeting and fellowshiping with the late, great Bishop Flowers through my pastor and mentor at the time, Victor Foster. Bishop Flowers, during my brief time in NC, was one of the kindest, funniest, and most generous men of God I have ever encountered, with a beautiful congregation that truly loved their pastor. To his family and congregation, I wish you all well and thank you for accepting me during my time in New Bern, NC. God bless ππΏπ€
