Evening Star Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church 3716 East Paris Street Tampa, Florida 33610 September 23, 2022 Resolution
TO: The Family of the late Eddie B Walker,
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28.
It is doubly sweet at the close of a well spent life to turn one's face toward sunset and quietly sink into the rest that knows no waking except in the presence of God. Such was the passing of Eddie B Walker who has passed away to be with the Lord and receive his eternal reward.
Whereas in the providence of God, the soul of Eddie B Walker has been released from life on this side as we know it; we Pastor Stephen Griffin, officers and members of the Evening Star Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church family deem it both proper and fitting to submit this resolution to assist you in focusing your eyes on God, who shall wipe away all tears from your eyes. Be it therefore resolved that, though his presence will be missed, we the Evening Star Church family share your grief and commend you to a loving and caring Master, trust Him to provide divine comfort to you.
Therefore, be it further resolved that it is our prayer that you have the assurance that when the trump shall sound and those that are asleep in Christ shall rise first, then you will reunite with him as we meet the Lord in the air.
Loving memories never die As years roll on and days pass by In our hearts a memory is kept Of the ones we love and will never forget
Sorrowfully submitted,
Evening Star Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church Pastor, Stephen Griffin Church Clerk, Sister Johnnie Mae Collins
