With heavy hearts, condolences to the bereaved family. Mother Minnie was more than the Mother of Tabernacle of Faith, she was our family too. She always spoke comforting words of wisdom and she loved her guitar man. She has forever left a memory in our hearts that we will cherish for a lifetime.

My condolences to the family, I am so sorry for your loss. The almighty God gives us some comfort when he tells us at Rev.21: 3, 4 that he will do away with anything that causes pain and suffering. We all can get some comfort from listen to him.

My heart goes out to you all for the loss of your dear loved one.It is comforting to know that there are promises to look forward to by means of God's Kingdom. One of these wonderful promises is in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8... the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will swallow up death forever and will wipe away the tears from all faces. I hope that scripture can be a means of comfort and provide you all hope as well throughout your grief.
