To the family of Rev. Theodore Gates. Our condolences goes out to you. Rev. Gates was a former Minister at Calvary AME Church, Edisto Island where we attend. He was truly a GREAT Minister and a GODLY man. He truly did a lot for Calvary during his tenure there. We missed him when he was reassigned to another church and we will miss him now but with happiness in our hearts knowing that he has gone home to be with the Lord. Take comfort in knowing you have a Guardian Angel forever watching over you.
