My deepest condolences to Gary´s family

To the Family of the late Mr. Gary Tatum, I extend my condolences upon hearing of his transition; however, do take consolation in knowing that he is resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father from whom all blessings flow. "When praises/prayers go up, blessings come down." As a fellow chorister in both community choirs with which he sang, I especially found great inspiration when he would lead the songs, "Lord, Help Me to Hold Out," and "What a Wonderful World." I'll continue to pray for the family.
He will be sorely missed.

Prayerfully,

Unita Perkins-King
