Sitting here thinking of you and missing you

To Bishop Gloria Sylvester and Tamika, Darius and David and the entire Sylvester and Brown family, you have my heart felt condolences. To the entire New Dimensions Worship Center and Destiny International Fellowship, words just doesn't seem adequate to tell you that I know that we are all grieving. We have lost Our Spiritual Father and to most of us he was indeed our natural father. He was the most kindest, gentle, and loving man that I know. Who can take Apostle David Sylvester place, No one! But I know that we will shift, we will move forward because that is what he wanted for us! Awesome man of God! He and Bishop Gloria showed us what it is to live Holy, and what marriage and love was. I could write so much more. We will get through this pain together. I love my leaders and my church family. Sincerely Deacon Yolanda Lee.

Bishop Gloria and Family, Apostle David was such a great man and spiritual father. He was so special and will forever live in our hearts. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have been nurtured by you both. I will miss him so much. We send our deepest sympathy to you all during this difficult time. We love you always, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy (Amber) Simmons, Jr and Family

Bishop Gloria Sylvester, the Sylvester family, and the New Dimensions Worship Center family, we extend our sincere condolences and prayers. We are so blessed to have known Apostle David Sylvester, a truly compassionate minister and leader. While we will miss Apostle David, we know he is in the presence of the Lord and are persuaded as the Apostle Paul was persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. LaSherril, Jeff, and Jadyn Matthews

Bishop Gloria and the entire Sylvester Family,

When one lives in Christ,they also die in Christ. With that being said,"Life is greater later".His exit from this earth is his entrance in "Paradise". Rest in Heaven Apostle David. Love and prayers, Godfrey/Brenda Jones

Heartfelt condolences to Rev Gloria (Bishop) Darius, Tamika, David and their families during this their hours of bereavement.To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord The Graham (Kemp) Family
