I don't have the words to say to you Lady Wallace and your sons during this time. I do thank God for allowing me to have known this great man of God. Bishop Wallace had a wonderful spirit and I'm speaking from what I experience not what anyone told me. I always enjoyed this great man of God saying (Give Jesus A Hardie Hand Clap) and (What Time Is It?) the church response back ( It's Offering Time) I will be praying for you and your family Lady Wallace. I can't say I know how you are feeling because I never lost a spouse. I can tell you that God is a keeper and a way maker he never made a mistake and he wont. Keep trusting in God as always you will be alright. That's why Bishop Wallace was living holy all these years for what happened on May 21, ( For we know saints don't die they (we) sleep away) 1Thessalonians 4:14. See you in the morning Bishop Wallace sleep on. I Love You All! Bro. Greg Watson (Bethelite Forever)
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
