Papa Bill annd family, please accept our family's deepest sympathies. What a blessing she was to me as she and I stood at the front door when I was dropping off our two children into her care. Not only was she diligent in caring for the children, the blessing I received just talking with her about the Lord and what He has done... some of the most powerful moments in my life! She was indeed worth far more than rubies and diamonds! What a shining example of a saint of God!

"We bring sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord; and we offer up to You the sacrifices of thanksgiving; and we offer up to You, the sacrifices of praise. Oh-What a mighty God she served. What a mighty God she served. Angels bow before Him, Heaven and Earth adore Him. What a mighty God she served-Jesus is that God she served! So, back-back train and get this load. 'Cause she has her ticket for the afternoon train. One of these days, her soul will rise. I got my ticket, I plan to ride! Know that God's train is bound for glory, God's train. The only way you ride, you must be holy. God's train is a clean train, you must be saved in Christ Jesus's name! In the name of Jesus, she has the victory. Victory is hers; Victory is hers; Victory today is hers! Sunday is the day that the Lord did make. We shall rejoice and be glad in it. We shall enter his gates with thanksgiving in our hearts; we shall enter his courts with praise. God be praised, Sunday's the day that the Lord did make; we will rejoice for He has made us glad. He has made us glad, we will rejoice Yahuah has made us glad! Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say Rejoice. Rejoice, rejoice, again I say Rejoice. What a mighty God she served!"

Sis. Cookie

Bill and Family, We are so saddened by the passing of Miss Mary, but rejoice that she is with her Lord and Savior. She loves the Lord and told us every time we saw her, "Jesus is so good" she would say. We are so thankful that she loved our son, Tanner, and us.

Over 50 years ago, we met our sister who would stop by our home after choir rehearsal and invite us to church. We became friends and served together for many years until they transferred. We have visited one another from time to time over the years. Yes Jesus loves us and has prepared a new home and body for us. We await the day when we all get together again. Hallelujah what a day that will be. Be Encouraged and Blessed 😇

Love turner sr

I was saddened upon learning of the passing of Sis. McCann. She was the epitome of what a Godly Woman should look like. Her smile always lighted up a room. Her spirit was as beautiful as she was. She was a Proverbs 31 Woman. I'm honored for the many times God allowed me to be in her presence and to share a few words with. I will always here her in my mind singing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me". May The Comforter be with Rev. McCann, her children, her Church families and the rest of her family. May He bring comfort to your souls for we already know God welcomed her with open arms.

Revs. William and Linda Fields, Carlanda and Anissa Fields

The Fields Family

Rest well Cousin Mary rest well.
