My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Church won't be the same without his praying and testimonies. He will be deeply missed.💐
Brother Mendes had a profound love of God family and life he loved to share it with anyone that stood still long enough to listen. He was a story teller he did so with humor and always a life lesson thrown in. One scriptural promise is long life, he has enjoyed that the long is eternal life now he has gone on to enjoy that. Family you can have peace in those promises as well. Always remember the love you shared and the stories that are now pricesless. Cheryl Best Hines
