My condolences goes out sis white and family , Rev White and his wife in family are like family to me and has been and inspiration to me and He was an awesome pastor . He was a Holy Ghost preaching minister thanks to his preaching and Bible studies and youth Bible studies that his daughter Valerie taught and the encouragement of his wife I would not be where I am today in my spiritual walk with the Lord which I thank the Lord for his daughter to but I do thank the Lord for Rev White and his wife. They made it possible with the help of the Lord. He is looking down at his wife and family and church family rooting for us all to be where he is. Jesus said he will never leave us nor forsake us. He is holding Rev white in the palm of his like he is holding you all Sis White and family may the Lord blessed and strengthen and keep you all in Jesus precious name

To the White family. As a little girl Rev. White poured water on my head for safety until I was willing to take the responsibility of my own salvation which means he baptize me also. Once I became a grown woman he was the one who united my marriage. And then once I became a mother with a child who suffered a birth injury he made sure he prayed over her and became my spiritual strength. Today that little girl is walking, talking running, and using both hands because of Rev. White and all the ministers and staff members along with the congregations that prayed for her. I might be late with this message but today I need the White family to know the Washington's ( Jesse, Marcella, Lee, Tonya, Sheryll, and baby girl Scarlett right on time to say Thank you Rev. Rest in peace. I know the champagne's of James Island can and will only say Rev would have done anything of us nevermind the true fee. Love you pastor.

To Mrs. Isadora White & Family:

This comes to convey deepest and heartfelt condolences. I was, indeed, very sorry to hear of the homegoing of my high school classmate. (We of the Laing HS Class of 1954 were like a close-knit band of sisters and brothers.)

His outstanding career of church-building and Christian ministry has been recognized near and far, and his legacy will endure. He will be missed by many.

May the peace and comfort the Almighty, which passes understanding, be with you all during your time of sorrow and beyond.

Sincerely,

Iesha and Samuel Brooks
