Pastor Darrell and Miss Sinda were so special to us all at the Chapel, our little white church on the hill. You could always ask or share with them and be assured you would be lead by the Word of God before opinions or ideas. We will miss them so until we all meet together again in our forever home whole and happy forevermore. “Little Samuel” as Pastor called Isaac, will forever hold his Pastor and Miss Sinda in his heart. He told Pastor that he’s “gonna preach someday, too just like Pastor” and how both of the them would smile thinking about those great days to come. An ever ready and faithful prayer warrior with a hearty, “Well, hello! It’s good to see you this morning. Come on in!” and a welcome smile and handshake on Sunday mornings. Always encouraged you to share a song or testimony of how good the Lord had been. We’ll see them soon, til then we will carry on Brother, fighting the e good fight of faith, overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony. All our love and prayers to Mary and Sharon.
