There are many people in this world. Some, you wonder what is their purpose. They seem to be occupiers only and take more than they give. But then there are those who are truly givers. Their hearts seems like an ever flowing stream which blesses all of those who come within its sphere. Deacon Prioleau has been that stream. The stream filled with LIVING WATERS. He has embodied the SPIRIT of CHRIST. He has been an example of stength, goodness, and faithfulness from the time we attended Sunday School together as youth. We rarely missed a Sunday. We studied under faithful Sis. Lessie Moultrie. He has continued teaching and leading many children and adultes through the years. Though I have moveed out of the area, whenever I would come home for special occasions, Deacon Prioleau has been on his post. I remember when my mother was ill and not able to attend church for many years, Deacon Prioleau and the officers made it a point to come and take Holy Commmunion to her in her home. Even leaving a small monetary gift for her. That act, though simple, made a lasting imprssion on me and my family as we witnessed his faithfulness and commitment to his duties. We are sadden by the fact that he has been called into eternal rest. However, the Scripture states, Ps 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." So family the pain and hurt are real and difficult to comprehend. But, when you can't trace God's hand, you can always trust His heart. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time. Elder Nathaniel and Delores Greene and family.

It is with great empathy I write these words, for only 10 months ago my family experienced your same loss. I know all the kind words and great stories you will hear will give you much comfort during this great loss. While you grieve please know that eventually and sooner than you think, your tears will turn to smiles when you think of your dear loved one. For heaven and earth shall pass away but God's word shall stand forever! These are His words I have for you :

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. Isa 61:3 (NLT)

Our hearts go out to you all and may God continue to shelter you under His wings.
