Elder Billy Ray Lanier

To Sis Geneva & Quinn. May the love and peace of God surround you like a blanket. Eld Billy Ray was a good man. Taught me many things just by watching his life. He was always encouraging and had a Word to give. May He Rest in Peace, and may you be comforted knowing he's in a better place. Love Eld. Jerome McDowell

Wow....what a wonderful man of God. He led to baptism under the leadership of my Pastor Patricia Judd. He will be missed always stopping by to check on us. I didn't even know until now, looking for Ms. Joyner and saw this....sadden. RIH Elder Lanier.

The words are often hard to express how my heart feels. You were loved by so many and you loved so many. You never saw a stranger. You had a word of encouragement for just about everyone you came in contact with. The wisdom you poured into me. The way you taught me to be a Godly woman. I will forever hold that in my heart. I will continue to listen for your soft words of guidance. Love you baby girl, Quin.

My deepest and sincere condolences to Lady Geneva and the entire Lanier family. I will miss this great man of God. Always reaching out and determined to serve others. The entire PUCCA Organization will hold his memory close to our hearts in the years to come. God's Peace,Blessings and Joy to you. Sis Rose Fore
