When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember, not just that you died, but that you lived, and your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Apostle Gertie Ford, Pastor

March 25, 2015

I am so sorry for the passing of Ms. Roper. I met her some years ago at Frierson Elementary where she worked as the Cafeteria Manager. Very sweet and pleasant person.

Family, especially my dear friend Prophetess Stovall, I am lifting you in prayer. I encourage you to lean on the everlasting arms of God. It will hold you up in this difficult time, and will never, never, give away

God's Blessing upon you,

Walk of Faith Kingdom Impact Int'l.

There is a place, there is a way and there is someone we all can run to in the deepest sorrows of life. That someone is our heavenly Father. His unconditional love is available to bring comfort in times of sorrow and despair. Jesus spoke often about comfort when he said "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Family, may His spoken word soothe your grieving heart. We will cherish the memory of such a God-fearing, spirit filled woman. We share in your sorrow.
