Sorry for the loss of Bro.Faulkner.He was a good man of God,and he will be missed by all.But he really isn't gone he is resting in the arms of his savior......
So sorry to learn of the loss of Bro. Faulkner. I remember him taking his family to the Church of God, years and years ago, he was always so faithful. I especially remember him being very kind to me and that is a human quality often forgotten these days. I will keep you all in my prayers in the days ahead. I hope you are tremendously comforted knowing you'll see him and all the rest on that Glad Reunion Day.
With Heartfelt Sympathies,
