Our deepest sympathy from the Harris family Atlanta Georgia

You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace. Our sincere condolences from Sherry & Willie C. Jones.

My sincere prayers go out to the Howard/Walton families. I thank God for the opportunity of knowing and sharing with my adopted sister and former member Mary Emma. During my tenure at Uchee Chapel A.M.E. Church she and her family were a great support to the ministry. Mary was blessed with one of the most greatest alto voices that God has given. She was spiritual and a strong shoulder for me while pastoring the members there. Family, please know that she is in a better place where she is free from the earthly pains and toils of this life. I will continue to lift you up in prayer. May the peace of God be with you and remain with you. Pastor J. Andrew Caldwell, Faith Outreach Ministries Birmingham, Al.
