To my uncle CD family, I going to miss my uncle and he was just like Jesus, it wasn't nothing he couldn't do, I'm hurting, but I know God didn't make a mistake, To God Be All the Glory, Auntie Gail I love you and my cousin ❤️ ♥️
For 21 years of my life you were "pastor", but for a lifetime you will always be "father." You always amazed me because when I think of Jesus I know no man can be comparable, but I used to tell you, someday you and Jesus should go into business together - both carpenters and handy men, fishers, and teachers. There wasn't anything you couldn't do, and even if you thought you couldn't you knew somebody who could help get it done. Our thoughts, love, and prayers are with Mother Gayle, and all of the family and friends who were touched by his life. Take your rest soldier, for your work on earth is finished. Well done.
To the family l extend my prayers and condolences to you. This is hard to believe. I just saw him and talked with him last Tuesday at the doctor's office. We had a lovely conversation. I had not seen him in quite some time and to learn of his passing is shocking. I pray that the Lord comfort you all during this difficult time. 🙏❤️🙏
